Writ application was filed on 2.1.2008 and has been taken up today for the first time. This Court finds that it will not be appropriate to keep the writ application pending before this Court or issuing notices to respondent nos.10 and 11 and waiting service of notice and their appearance. This Court feels it appropriate that the matter can 2 be more effectively and quickly decided by the concerned Appellate Authority constituted by the State Government under Rule 18 of the Bihar Panchayat Prarambhik Shikshak (Niyojan Avam Seva Sart) Niyamvali, 2006 (as amended by Amendment Act, 2008) In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal before the concerned Appellate Authority within one month from today. If such an appeal is filed by the petitioner, the Appellate Authority shall consider the same on its merits. It shall also ensure service of notice of appeal on respondent nos.10 and 11 through the schools where they are functioning to ensure their appearance in the appeal at an early date if they so desire. In any case, after service of notice, appeal must be decided on merits within the stipulated period as laid down under the rules for deciding the matter. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
