IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5592 of 2008 SANJAN KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 7/7/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner seeks a direction to consider her case of appointment under an application dated 2.5.2005 on the post of Panchayat Teacher in Gram Panchayat Jajhat Sabaila in the District of Madhepura and consequential orders of annulment of those who have been appointed to the prejudice of the petitioner when she claims to have acquired higher marks than them. The tentative merit list is alleged to have been prepared on 28.2.2005 which acquired final shape on 6.10.2005 for a contractual appointment of eleven months. To that extent, the petitioner clearly had a cause of action on the date that the new rules described as Bihar Panchayat Primary Teachers (Appointment and Service Conditions) Rules, 2006 have come into force on 1.7.2006. The writ application is therefore disposed with liberty to the petitioner to approach the statutory authority under Rule-18 of the 2006 Rules which shall be decided by the statutory authority, respondent No.4, after hearing all concerned, in accordance with law, within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
