IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.763 of 2011 Shabana Parween, daughter of Late Md. Kalimuddin, resident of village Arwal, Sipah, P.S. Arwal, District- Arwal …………. Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar 2. Member, District Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal, Arwal 3. The D.S.E., Arwal 4. The B.E.E.O, Arwal 5. The Panchayat Secretary, Panchayat Raj, Wasilpur, Arwal 6. Mukhiya, Ram Binay Prasad, Mukhiya, Gram Panchayat, Wasilpur, Arwal 7. Arshi Parween, Panchayat Teacher of Upgraded Middle School, Makhdumpur, P.S. Arwal, District-Arwal. ………………… Respondents. ----------- 2. 28.7.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 15.9.2010 passed by the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority, Arwal by which the appeal filed by the petitioner has been rejected. The short facts of the case are that the petitioner applied for appointment as Panchayat Teacher. The petitioner belongs to extremely backward class female category. In the panel which was prepared the petitioner was at Sl. No. 3 but ultimately on the ground that the petitioner did not turn up when her 2 name appeared in the 4th list and did not give her consent letter within one week time as required and subsequently when the candidate at Sl. No. 4 also did not turn up, the candidate at Sl. No. 5, i.e., respondent no. 7 was appointed. The petitioner aggrieved by the same applied before the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority, which on examination of the entire records, came to the conclusion that there was no illegality in the selection process and it is the petitioner who had not given her consent letter within seven days and for the said reason, the candidates below in the merit list were given chance and were appointed. The Appellate Authority did not find any illegality in the action of the Panchayat Selection Committee which had stage by stage given opportunity to each of the selected candidates in the panel including the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a resident of nearby village from the Panchayat office and there is no question of not joining had she been duly notified about her appointment and thus the appointment of a person 3 admittedly having lower marks should be cancelled and the petitioner should be given the appointment. Nothing has been brought on the record by the petitioner to show that the Appellate Authority has passed the order contrary to the materials on the record. The Appellate Authority in normal circumstances would be the last forum of facts and this Court would not normally interfere with any finding of facts by the Appellate Authority unless a glaring illegality or perversity is shown in the conclusion recorded by it. There is no such material on the record except mere assertion of the petitioner in this matter. In the above circumstances, this Court does not find any reason to interfere with the order of the District Teachers Employment Appellate Authority. The writ application is accordingly dismissed.
