Rasamba, District Purnea … Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Selection Committee of Panchayat Teachers, Pothiya Gangouli Panchayat, Amoul, Purnea through Panchayat Secretary 3. Panchayat Secretary, Pothiya Gangouli Panchayat, Mmoul, Purnea 4. District Superintendent of Education, Purnea 5. District Education Extension Officer, Purnea … Respondents ---------------------------------- 3. 20.10.2011 Having heard counsel for the parties and taking into account that the grievance of the petitioner relates to appointment and/or cancellation of appointment on the post of Panchayat Shikshak, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to file a complaint before the statutory form, namely, District Teachers Appellate Authority in terms of Rule 18 of the Panchayat Shikshak Appointment Rules, 2006. It is made clear that if the petitioner files a complaint within a period of one month from today the authority shall decide the complaint of the petitioner on merits without non-suiting him on the ground of limitation, inasmuch as the writ application had remained pending for more than four years before being disposed of today. It goes without saying that any order on merit by the authority will be passed only after affording opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as also to the other respondents and/or any other person required to be heard in respect of redressal of the grievance of the petitioner. 2 With the aforementioned observation and direction this application is disposed of.
