Counsel for the State is present and would explain that the impugned order passed by the Collector of Samastipur district rejecting the case of the petitioner for his selection and appointment on the post of Panchayat Shikshak does not suffer from any error, inasmuch as, the petitioner actually wanted to change the criteria for being selected 2 and appointed whereas such criteria has been fixed by the statutory Rules. In the considered opinion of this Court, counsel for the State seems to be correct because the petitioner had made a prayer that like the appointment on the post of Panchayat Shikshak weighted average should be taken of all the qualification and not only of the intermediate whereas in the appointment Rules for the post of Panchayat Teacher only marks of intermediate has to be taken by way of deciding the merit points. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
