IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7923 of 2009 Rekha Devi @ Rekha Kumari, Wife of Sheo Narayan Singh, resident of village-Chakkaji Nizam, P.O. and P.S.- Mahua, District-Vaishali. .............Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Collector, Vaishali. 3. District Superintendent of Eduation, Vaishali at Hajipur. 4. Prakhand Vikas Padadhikari, Mahua, District-Vaishali. 5. Mukhiya, Gram Panchayat Raj, Phulwariya. 6. Secretary, Gram Panchayat Raj, Phulwariya, P.S.-Mahua, District- Vaishali. ----------- 2/ 16.07.2009 Petitioner’s claim is that she was working regularly in newly constituted Primary School, Phulwariya as Shiksha Mitra and teaching the students but her payment of salary has been stopped since December, 2007. As per the statement in the writ application, petitioner was engaged as Panchayat Shiksha Mitra on 1st of May, 2005 by the Mukhiya, Gram Panchayat Raj, Phulwariya, for 11 months and was posted in newly constituted Primary Institute at Phulwariya. Petitioner has filed supplementary affidavit to show that on 27.07.2006 the Panchayat Secretary issued a letter contained in Memo No. 06, whereby petitioner was re-engaged as Panchayat Shiksha Mitra with effect from the date of issuance of the letter. Validity of this letter needs to be examined because on 1.7.2006 all Panchayat Shiksha Mitra working on the post were absorbed on the post of Panchayat Shiksha Mitra. Admittedly, petitioner was not working on 1.7.2006 as such this letter (Annexure-2) could not have been issued by the Panchayat Secretary, subsequent to the date on which Panchayat Primary Teachers (Appointment and Service - 2 - Conditions) Rule came into effect. In case petitioner has any grievance she can approach District Teachers Appointment Tribunal for redressal of her grievance. This application is dismissed. Sanjeet/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
