Wazirganj, District- Gaya. …………. Respondents ---------------------------------- 3. 09/08/2011 Petitioner has moved this Court for a direction to the respondents to take work from him as Panchayat Teacher on the basis of her alleged selection by the Committee on 21.6.2006 as Shiksha Mitra. Letter of the Mukhiya dated 21.6.2006, as contained in Annexure-1, shows that the petitioner was selected by the Sukh Subidha Committee for her appointment as Shiksha Mitra. Admittedly, petitioner did not join prior to 1.7.2006 when the new Rules came 2 into force and contractual post of Shiksha Mitra was converted into regular post of Panchayat Teacher and new process of selection was laid down. Petitioner claims that she submitted her joining on 12.7.2006, vide Annexure-4. Obviously, with the change of Rules, which took effect on 1.7.2006, no appointment could be made or joining could be accepted on the regular post of Panchayat Teacher on the basis of any selection made as Shiksha Mitra prior to the Rules came into force. The Rules provide that only those Shiksha Mitras, who had been validly appointed and were actually working on 30th June, 2006 were to be re-designated as Panchayat Teachers on regular basis on the converted post. The petitioner had not joined even if she was validly selected on 21.6.2006, which fact is being disputed by the respondents. Admittedly, petitioner had not joined on or before 30th June, 2006. Hence, she could not be treated as Panchayat Teacher on 1.7.2006 and therefore, she could not be allowed to join on 12.7.2006 on the basis of earlier selection. 3 This Court therefore, does not find any merit in this writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
