Petitioner has prayed for quashing the order contained in Memo No. 1677 dated 17.10.2007 issued by the Block Development Officer, Pakaribrawan, Nawadah terminating the petitioner from her service. Petitioner’s grievance is that termination order has been issued without any proper enquiry, without issuing any notice to the petitioner to show cause and without giving opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. - 2 - Considering the fact that challenging the termination order the petitioner has filed an appeal before the District Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal, Nawadah on 29.12.2008, which is still pending, this application is being disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to pursue the pending appeal before the Appellate Tribunal. The District Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal is directed to decide the appeal of the petitioner within 30 days from the date of communication/presentation of a copy of this order in the light of the order passed by this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 204 of 2008 and analogous cases as similar order was under consideration in those writ applications. The appellate authority before passing an order in the appeal will issue notice to all concerned. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
