VIII 2 29.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Though the matter relates to appointment of Shiksha Mitra in the concerned Gram Panchayat made in 2005, from Annexure-8 it appears that a large 2 number of irregularities were found in the appointment of teachers by the Block Education Extension Officer. Hence, Panchayat Secretary was directed to appear in the office with the entire records. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that thereafter the matter has remained pending although petitioner has been filing repeated complaints and representations before the higher authorities of the Government in the district. In view of the prima facie findings of the Block Development Officer in his letter as contained in Annexure-8, this Court considers it appropriate that the matter is looked into by the Appellate Authority in detail. Hence, petitioner is granted liberty to file a representation before the concerned Appellate authority constituted under the Rules in terms of 2008 Amendment within four weeks from today. if he doses so, the Appellate Authority shall call for the entire original records from the 3 office of the Panchayat in respect of process of appointment and shall examine as to whether appointments were made by adopting valid procedure or not. Thereafter, the Appellate Authority, if necessary, shall issue notice to the concerned parties and the Appellate Authority shall decide the matter in accordance with law preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
