Since, the petitioner did not do so before filing of this writ application and as such statutory Authority earlier being the Block Development Officer has now been sought to be replaced by the District Teachers Appellate Authority, this Court would only give liberty to the petitioner to approach the concerned District Teachers Appellate Authority within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and in the event the petitioner would approach such Authority by filing his representation as with regard to his removal from service on the post of Panchayat shikshak, the Authority shall decide the question on merits without non suiting the petitioner on the ground of limitation. It is expected that the Authority after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner shall take its decision within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order which has to be filed by the 3 petitioner alongwith his complaint petition. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
