Respondents ---------- 3. 12/05/2010 Dispute in this writ application is with regard to appointment of Panchayat Teacher. Petitioner claims that respondent no.9 was illegally appointed on the orders of the District Magistrate. Matter was earlier heard and allowed by a Bench of this Court vide order dated 13.2.2009. Respondent no.9 went in appeal. On the ground that she had not been noticed and heard in the matter by this Court, the appeal was allowed and the matter has been remitted back. - 2 - Now the Appellate Authorities constituted by the State Government under Rule 18 of the Bihar Panchayat Prarambhik Shikshak (Niyojan Avam Seva Sart) Niyamvali, 2006 (as amended by Amendment Act, 2008) are functional in the district. Therefore, instead the hearing the matter on merit, it would be appropriate that the parties be relegated to the appellate authority to raise their grievances. Therefore, this writ application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file appeal before the concerned appellate authority within one month from today. If such an appeal is filed, the concerned appellate authority shall consider the same on merits and dispose it of within the time fixed for disposal of the appeal under the Rules, after due notice to respondent no.9 and after giving her opportunity to be heard.
