IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.9240 of 2007 Asha Kumari, wife of Shri Ram Pravesh Ram, resident of village Mohanpur, P.S. Pattori, District Samastipur … Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Secretary, Primary and Adult Education Department, New Secretariat, Patna 2. The Collector cum District Magistrate, Samastipur 3. The District Superintendent of Education, Samastipur 4. The Block Education Extension Officer, Pattori, District Samastipur 5. The Mukhiya, Gram Panchayat Raj Mohanpur, P.S. Pattori, District Samastipur 6. Jaymala Kumari, wife of Shri Sakaldeo Das, resident of village Mohanpur, P.S. Pattori, District Samastipur … Respondents ---------------------------------- 4. 4.11.2011 Heard counsel for the parties. Admittedly the petitioner has a grievance as with regard to his service condition relating to engagement on the post of Panchayat Shikshak. The service condition of the post of Panchayat Shikshak is governed by the statutory Rules, namely, Bihar Panchayat Shikshak Rules, 2006 wherein under Rule 18 a statutory form has been created for redressal of grievance on filing of complaint by the aggrieved person. Initially it was the Block Development Officer who had been vested with such power but later on independent body, namely, District Teachers Appellate Authority has been constituted for deciding such grievance on filing of complaint by the aggrieved person. Admittedly the petitioner has not exhausted such statutory alternative remedy before moving this Court. That being so, this application is dismissed as being premature. The dismissal of this writ application, however, will 2 not stand in the way of the petitioner to move the competent District Teachers Appellate Authority which is expected to decide the case of the petitioner on merits and without non-suiting the petitioner on the ground of limitation taking into account that this writ application, though misconceived, had remained pending for a period over four years.
