THE HEAD MASTER, UTKRAMIT MIDDLE SCHOOL PALIYA, P.S.- CHARPOKHARI, DISTRICT- BOJPUR AT ARRAH. ………………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2/ 17.10.2011 Heard counsel for the parties. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner has statutory alternative remedy against his order of dismissal from service while holding the post of Prakhand Shikshak in terms of Rule-18 of the Panchayat Shikshak Appointment Rules-2006, this Court would hold this writ application to be not maintainable, inasmuch as, the petitioner had not availed the remedy as provided therein. Nonetheless as the writ petition was filed on 07.08.2007, at a point of time when such a grievance could be raised before the concerned Block Development Officer and 2 subsequently the power was vested in the District Teachers Appellate Authority, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to approach the said Authority within a period of two months from today. It is made clear that if the petitioner would approach the said Authority within a period of two months from today by filing appropriate complaint before the Authority, the same shall be decided on merits without non-suiting the petitioner on the ground of limitation/delay. The Authority shall also afford opportunity of hearing to all the concerned parties including the petitioner before passing its final order. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
