Patna High Court CWJC No.6275 of 2016 dt.23-12-2016 2/2 to as 'the Rules') as amended from time to time. Rule 18 of 'the Rules' in question does provide an appellate forum for the Panchayat teachers to raise any grievance relating to appointment and service condition. Obviously, the order of suspension is a grievance arising out of the appointment and service conditions of a Panchayat teacher and thus the petitioner would be well advised to exhaust the remedy so available to him.

The writ petition is disposed of.

Considering that it is an order of suspension any such application filed by the petitioner should be considered and disposed of by the appellate authority expeditiously with a sense of priority. (Jyoti Saran, J) Bibhash/- NAFR CAV DATE Uploading Date 23.12.16 Transmission Date
