The Block Pramukh Chattapur Block – Supaul-respondents ---------------------------------- 2 20.12.2011 The petitioners have wrongly approached this Court directly in the matter which relates to their appointment as Block Teachers for which they have been duly selected and all processes were completed and only the appointment letters were to be issued but till today the same has not been done. 2 Learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioners have an alternative remedy before the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority, Supaul which can go into the various aspects of the matter as there is a report of the Block Education Extension Officer to the District Superintendent of Education that in a secret meeting the Prakhand Pramukh and the Block Development Officer have cancelled their counselling. Be that as it may, since the petitioners have been provided with an effective alternative remedy by the Statutory rules, namely, Bihar Panchayat Primary Teacher (Appointment and Service Condition) Rules, 2006, it is proper that they should have approached the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority in the matter which can look into all aspects, factual and legal, in the matter instead of rushing to this Court. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to approach the District Teacher Employment Appellate Authority for the redressal of their grievances. In case, any such appeal/complaint is filed by the petitioner within a period of four weeks from today along with a copy of this order before the District 3 Teacher Employment Appellate Authority, the same must be considered expeditiously and disposed of preferably within a period of four months in accordance with law after hearing all the affected parties.
