Charpokhari, District Bhojpur 9. Mukhiya, Babubandh Gram Panchayat, P.S. Charpokhari, District Bhojpur…….Respondents ----------- 3 30.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. As per the case of the petitioner, she was appointed as Shiksha Mitra by an order of the Mukhiya, Babubandh Gram Panchayat dated 28.05.2005 and she joined on 30th May, 2005 and on the very next day, she was relieved for acquiring training by the Headmaster vide Annexure-2. It is her case that after she completed the training she came back to the school but she was not allowed to join. The representation which has been annexed as Annexure-3 by the petitioner does not bear any 2 date and another representation as contained in Annexure-4 is of 14.10.2006 which shows that the petitioner did not move the authorities immediately after she was refused to join by the Headmaster. Thus, the first representation of the petitioner was filed after the Bihar Panchayat Prarambhik Shikshak (Niyojan Avam Seva Sart) Niyamvali, 2006 came into force by which posts of the Shiksha Mitra were abolished and regular post of Panchayat Teacher was created prescribing the criteria for appointment for the same. Thus, it will be apparent that on account of her laches, she missed her chance when the post of Shiksha Mitra was in existence. She has moved this Court in 2008 i.e. two years after the alleged representation was filed by the petitioner before the District Education Officer. The writ application suffers from delay and laches and the same is accordingly, dismissed. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
