Through I.A. No.7346 of 2008 petitioner has produced the order of appointment of respondent no.12 and has prayed for liberty to challenge the same also. The I.A. is allowed. Petitioner is granted liberty to challenge the said order. 2 The challenge of the petitioner to Annexure- 6 and 7 is on the ground that the findings against the petitioner were recorded behind her back and without giving her any opportunity in the matter to be heard. There is nothing on record to show that this stand of the petitioner is incorrect. In the circumstances, the said findings of the B.D.O., as contained in Annexure-6, and the order, as contained in Annexure-7, are quashed. The B.D.O. is directed to send the complaint received from respondent no.12 and all connected records to the concerned statutory Appellate Authority within one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The Appellate Authority shall issue notice to all the concerned parties giving them opportunity to be heard and shall call for the original records from the concerned Panchayat and shall decide the matter positively within three months from the date of receipt of the records from the office of the B.D.O.
