(ii)For issuance of an appropriate writ, order or direction, in the nature of writ of Mandamus, commanding the respondents to appoint the petitioners as Shiksha Mitra in the aforesaid Gram Panchayat Raj, Harpur in view of the facts that the petitioners‟ names appear higher in the merit list (Annexure 2) in terms of the guidelines issued by respondent no.2 which are mandatory and binding for the selection.” this Court is of the considered opinion that while no order can be now passed for appointment of the petitioners on the 2 post of Shiksha Mitra, the post which has already been abolished by the State Government w.e.f. 1.7.2006, the remaining grievance as with regard to illegality in the selection and appointment of respondent nos. 8, 9 and 10 can still be looked into by the District Teachers Appellate Authority in the event the petitioners would file their complaint before the said authority. With the aforementioned observation this application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
