Hon'ble Shri Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava Order On Board
-226/07/2016 Heard on admission.
The petitioner has filed this petition aggrieved by order dated 05.12.2015 by which the Juniors, Assistant Teacher (Panchayat) (Shiksha Karmis Grade-III) have been promoted to the next higher post of Teacher (Panchayat) (Shiksha Karmis Grade-II). According to the petitioner, there is no departmental enquiry, no punishment imposed nor any adverse remark for the last five years.
Learned State counsel points out that the petitioner has statutory remedy of preferring representation under Rule 18(1)(b) of the Chhattisgarh Panchayat Service (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1999. Without commenting upon the merits of the case, considering that there is alternative remedy of preferring statutory representation in the matter of grievance on account of non-promotion/ supersession, the petition, at this stage, is disposed off with the liberty to the petitioner to prefer statutory representation upon which the competent authority shall decide the same in accordance with law.
