Helal Ahmad, Advocate For the State: Mr. Rakesh Kumar Shrivastava, A.C. to G.P. IV -------- 2. 30.8.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner has approached this Court for a direction upon the respondent authorities to act in accordance with the order dated 3.12.2009 passed by the District Teachers Employment Appellate Authority, Katihar. From perusal of the same, it does not appear to be any order passed by a quasi-judicial authority after adjudicating upon any matter or complaint made before it but it appears that the 2 concerned Member of the District Teachers Employment Appellate Authority, Katihar started functioning like an administrative authority and issuing direction in the matter of appointment process of Panchayat teacher which jurisdiction he has not been given under Rule 18 of the Bihar Panchayat Primary Teachers (Appointment and Service Conditions) Rules, 2006. The District Teachers Employment Appellate Authority has been created only to look into any complaint relating to appointment and service conditions of teachers working in the schools controlled by different levels of panchayats and not to issue administrative directions on carrying out of the function assigned to the Panchayats in the matter of appointment of teachers. The order is clearly without jurisdiction. In view of the aforesaid observations, no order is required to be passed in the writ petition issuing any directions to the respondent authorities. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of with the aforesaid observations. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J. )
