Mishra, Advocate For the State : Mr. S.K. Mandal,S.C. No.16 3 16.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. From Annexure-5 it appears that the petitioner who is Mukhiya of Gram Panchayat, Bhikhampur within the block of Bhagwanpur Hat in the district of Siwan, has filed a complaint before the Collector raising a grievance that instead of allowing holding of counseling for appointment of the teachers at the Panchayat Headquarter, the Block Development Officer had usurped the power of the Mukhiya and had called all the teachers of all the Panchayats for counselling at Block Headquarters. It is also alleged that the concerned Mukhiyas, who were Chairman of the respective Selection Committee for Panchayat Teachers in terms of Sub-rule (5) of Rule 9 of the Bihar Panchayat Primary Teacher (Employment & Service Conditions) Rule, 2006, were not informed from before about the change of venue due to which they could not participate in the counseling. In the representation, the Collector has been requested to cancel the counseling and pass orders for fresh counselling in presence of the competent officers at the Panchayat Headquarters. The Collector having not taken cognizance of the said complaint of the petitioner, he has moved this Court for redressal of the said grievance. In the facts of the case, this Court feels it appropriate that the Collector should look into the matter, consider the complaint of the petitioner, a copy whereof is annexed as Annexure-5, and dispose it of as expeditiously as possible. The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. B.T. (J.N.Singh, J.)
