Respondents ---------------------------------- 6. 01/08/2011 Petitioners are aggrieved by the order dated 19.2.2008 passed by the Collector, Madhubani, by which their initial appointments as Panchayat Shiksha Mitra have been held illegal on the ground that on the date of their appointment, they had no Intermediate qualification. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners were appointed on their undertaking that they will complete Intermediate course and shall obtain certificates, which they did later on and produced the certificates. However, the same 2 have not been taken into account. As the petitioners had completed Intermediate course after the period they had given undertaking, the Collector has cancelled their appointments simply holding that at the time of their engagement they were not holding Intermediate qualification. He further submits that as per the guidelines, petitioners had the opportunity to acquire qualification of Intermediate after their appointments. The disputes in respect of the undertaking given by the petitioners and accepted by the respondents are disputes of facts. Hence, the writ application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to approach the statutory Appellate Authority constituted under the Rules pursuant to 2008 amendment within four weeks from today. If they do so, the Appellate Authority shall call for the original records, issue notice to the respective parties giving them opportunity to be heard and shall decide the matter in accordance with law, preferably within two months from the date of filing of appeal/representation by the petitioners.
