Respondents ---------------------------------- 2. 24/11/2011 Grievance of the petitioner is that inspite of the orders of the Block Development Officer passed on 8.10.2007, as contained in Annexure-4, directing for appointment of the petitioner and other persons as Panchayat Teacher, the authorities of the Panchayat have not acted upon the same and have not appointed the petitioner. It appears that the Block Development Officer had exercised his powers in terms of 2 Rule 18 of the Rules as it then existed. Hence the Panchayat authorities were obliged to comply with his orders. However, if the orders still exists and it has not been challenged before any authority so far and/or has not been set aside, the Block Development Officer is directed to see to it that the same is complied with forthwith, failing which he is directed to take steps for appropriate action against the Panchayat authorities for non-compliance of the orders. The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
