THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.27829 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner joined the service of the Singareni Collieries as a Badili Clerk on 13.08.1981 and was posted in GDK-1 incline. In the year 1991, he was transferred to GDK-2 incline. On 28.07.2010, the respondents issued proceedings informing the petitioner that he would attain the age of superannuation on 13.08.2011 and would retire with effect from 31.08.2011. Shortly thereafter, the petitioner sought the information from the respondents as to entries made in the relevant records. Stating that the some of the entries in the records, particularly as regards date of birth, were altered, the petitioner filed W.P.No.16946 of 2011. After hearing the parties at some length, this Court passed an order on 27.08.2011 in W.P.M.P.No.20366 of 2011, directing that the petitioner shall arrange for examination of the petitioner by the Apex Medical Board, for determination of the correct age. The petitioner was subjected to medical examination by the Board, and through proceedings dated 30.09.2011, the respondents informed the petitioner that the Medical Board found him to be aged 60 years, as on 16.09.2011. The petitioner challenges the same. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the respondents. The petitioner did not submit any proof about his date of birth. Therefore, the respondents caused examination by the Medical Officer at that time and his age was mentioned as 60 years as on 13.08.1981. The petitioner submits that his age at that time was only 24 years. Since there was some discrepancy in the records maintained by the respondents, this Court directed that the petitioner is subjected to medical examination by the Apex Medical Board. The Board found the petitioner to be of 60 years as on 16.09.2011. Though the petitioner has raised several contentions, this Court cannot substitute its opinion with that of the Medical Board. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:12.10.2011 GJ
