Kumud Ranjan, son of Sri Mahendra Prasad Singh, resident of village Dakra, P.S. Ramgarh Chowk, District Lakhisarai … Respondents ----------- 3. 22.6.2011 This writ application involves the basic issue as with regard to either selection or continuance on the post of Shiksha Mitra. Though the post of Shiksha Mitra came to be abolished on 1.7.2006, the petitioners have a grievance that had they 2 been selected/ continued on the post of Shiksha Mitra they could have been absorbed as a Panchayat Shikshak in view of the provisions made under 2006 Rules laying down also the norms of absorption of working Shikshamitra on the post of Panchayat Shikshak/ Prakhand Shikshak. As a matter of fact for such grievance some of the similarly situated persons had moved the District Teachers Appellate Authority constituted under 2006 Act but then the concerned ‘Authority’ had taken a view its jurisdiction was confined to dealing only with the cases of Panchayat Shikshak/ Prakhand Shikshak. This aspect of the matter had accordingly received attention of the State Government which by way of clarification in its letter dated 14.5.2009 has held that even the disputes relating to the post of Shiksha Mitra could also be adjudicated by the District Teachers Appellate Authority. Counsel for the petitioners in view of the aforesaid subsequent development seeks leave of this Court to withdraw his writ application in order to enable the 3 petitioners to move before the concerned District Teachers Appellate Authority. That being so, this application is permitted to be withdrawn with the aforementioned liberty. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
