IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.32 of 2011 Rita Kumari, wife of Kumar Rajendra Singh, resident of village-Saneya, P.O. Bambhyawar, Police Station- Piro, District-Bhojpur….. Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. The Collector, Bhojpur 3. The District Superintendent of Education, Bhojpur 4. The Block Education Officer, Piro, Bhojpur 5. The Secretary, Gram Panchayat at Jitaura Jangal Mahal, Piro, Bhojpur. 6. Mukhiya Gram Panchayat Jitaura Jangal Mahal, Piro, District- Bhojpur…………………………………. Respondents. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr.Parmanand Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sourendra Pandey, A.C. to S.C.23. -------------- 2. 20.7.2011 In the present writ petition the petitioner seeks a direction upon the respondents to allow him to appear for counseling before the Panchayat Selection Committee. A bare statement has been made that the petitioner filed a complaint petition before the District Teachers Employment Appellate Authority, which refused to entertain the same on the ground that the time of counseling has lapsed. No case number has been stated in which any such order has been passed. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the District Teachers Employment Appellate Authority refused to accept the complaint petition. In my view the statutory authority, namely, District Teachers Employment Appellate Authority is the proper 2 Authority for redressal of any grievances of the petitioner. It is not open to any such Authority not to receive any appeal/case filed under Rule 18 of the Bihar Panchayat Primary Teachers (Appointment and Service Conditions) Rules, 2006, although after registering the case, it is permissible for the Appellate Authority to pass an appropriate order rejecting such an application on any legal ground, including the ground of limitation. The writ application is, accordingly, dismissed as not maintainable but with the liberty to the petitioner to approach the Appellate Authority. VPS ( Ramesh Kumar Datta, J. )
