Banka. ---------------------------------- 3. 22.7.2011 All these cases relate to the engagement of the petitioners as a Shiksha Mitra and/or appointment on the post of Panchayat Shikshak. It has been claimed by most of the petitioners that had they been engaged and continued in service as a Shiksha Mitra, they could have got the benefit of absorption on the post of Panchayat Shikshak in terms of Rule 20(iii) of 2006 Rules. In some of the cases the grievance relate directly to selection and appointment on the post of Panchayat Shikshak. The aforesaid 2006 Rule however itself provides a statutory alternative remedy in Rule-18 thereof, wherein, an independent body namely the District Teachers Appellate Authority has been constituted to look into any of the grievances relating to employment on the post of Panchayat Shikshak which in its wide sweep would also include the absorption of Shiksha Mitra on the post of Panchayat Shikshak. 12 For some period of time there was some sort of confusion as with regard to jurisdiction for entertaining the dispute relating to engagement/ continuation on the post of Shiksha Mitra, in view of the provisions made in Rule-18 regarding complaint in relation to employment and service condition of Panchayat teachers only but then the State Government has also clarified the same by its circular dated 14.05.2009 in terms of Rule 19 of 2006 Rules that even the dispute relating to the post of Shiksha Mitra could be adjudicated by the District Teachers Appellate Authority. The tribunal in form of the District Teachers Appellate Authority is therefore fully competent to entertain a complaint as with regard to selection and appointment on the post of Shikshamitra or Panchayat Shikshak and it has full powers to find out the facts and decide the issues in the light of the relevant Rules and/or Circular. Therefore, these writ applications are disposed of with a liberty to the petitioners of these cases to approach the concerned District Teachers Appellate 13 Authority within a period of eight weeks from today and if such an application by way of complaint is filed individually by them before the concerned Authority, it will proceed to examine the claim of the concerned petitioner on merit and would not non suit any one of them on the ground of limitation. It is however made clear, that in case, the petitioners would also assail the engagement/continuation of any other persons on the post of Shiksha Mitra who have been later on absorbed as Panchayat Shikshak, not only the Authority will have to issue notices to such persons but will have to also afford opportunity of hearing to them before passing the final order on such complaint/representation filed by the petitioners before the Authority. The Authority keeping in view that the dispute has lingered for a long time and that the Authority was constituted during the pendency of these writ applications filed in the year 2007 must ensure that a final decision in accordance with law is taken within a period of six months from the date of filing of the complaint/ 14 representation of the concerned petitioners. With the aforementioned observations and direction, these applications are disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
