The petitioner questions the appointment of respondent no. 8 on the post of Secretary, Gram Kutchery, Tajpur Patkhaulia, P.S. Kesharia, District East Champaran. In view of the alternative remedy available before the Sub Divisional Officer in respect of a person aggrieved by an appointment with the subsequent remedy of appeal before the District Magistrate this court is not inclined to entertain the writ application. Counsel for the private respondent and the state emphasise the time limit provided under Rule 12 for institution of a proceeding. If the petitioner files an appeal and satisfies the statutory authority that he had moved within 30 days from the date of cause of action accruing by at least filing a representation before the appropriate authority, the statutory authority in that event shall proceed to adjudicate the dispute between the petitioner and the private respondent after hearing the private respondent also and dispose off the same by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt and/or presentation of the memo of appeal before him. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
