Since the matter relates to appointment of Panchayat teacher and this Court has been informed that the Bihar State Teachers Appellate Authority has started functioning, this writ application is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to file appeal before the State Appellate Authority within four weeks.

In view of the fact that the petitioner is pursuing the remedy as this writ application is pending before this Court since 2011 and both sides agree not to raise the

Patna High Court CWJC No.13200 of 2011 (9) dt.02-12-2016 2/2 issue of limitation before the Appellate Authority, it is expected from the Appellate Authority to decide the matter expeditiously on merit in accordance with law without allowing the parties to raise the issue of limitation provided the appeal is filed within a period of four weeks.

Accordingly, the writ application is disposed of.
