IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C. REV. No.231 of 2009 NAWLESH KUMAR, S/O SRI PRASIDH SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-ANJAN, P.O. NIMA ANJAN, P.S. MADANPUR, DISTRICT- AURANGABAD ……….. PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & Ors.. ----------- 2. 06.01.2010 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the state. Petitioner has filed this application for reviewing the order dated 06.02.2009 passed in C.W.J.C. No., 14723/07 whereby after quashing the order contained in Memo No. 1151 dated 03.10.2007, the matter was remitted back to Block Development Officer, Madanpur, Aurangabad for passing order afresh after giving liberty to the parties. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the order needs modification as under rule 18 of Bihar Panchayat Teachers (Appointment & Service conditions) Rules, the Block Development Officer is not a competent authority for passing such orders. Under rule 18, only District Panchayat Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal is competent for passing such orders. As such, the direction should be given to the District Panchayat Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal Aurangabad for passing such orders. Considering the fact and the relevant rule, the order dated 06.02.2009 is being reviewed and modified. The direction, with which earlier the matter was remitted to Block - 2 - Development Officer, Madanpur, Aurangabad is now being given to the District Panchayat Teachers Employment Appellate Tribunal, Aurangabad for passing necessary orders after giving opportunity to all concerned including the petitioner to show cause. The order must be passed by the Tribunal within the statutory period, as provided under the rules. Akv/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
