-: 1 :- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.8718 OF 2007 Shri Chandrakant Narayan Kale : Petitioner V/s. The Government of Maharashtra & Anr. : Respondents ... Mr.M.D. Lonkar i/b. Ms Preetam Tendulkar for the petitioner. Mrs.S.S. Bhende, Asstt. Govt. Pleader for the respondents. ... CORAM : S.B.MHASE & A.A.KUMBHAKONI,JJ. DATE : JUNE 03, 2008. P.C. 1. Perused the order under challenge passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal. We find that the petitioner has taken benefit of the date 1.6.1949 as his birth date and thereby he secured admission to the school. He made himself competent on the basis of age determined on that basis for education and M.P.S.C. competitive examination. 2. Though the petitioner claims that his birth date was changed to that of 1.6.1951 in his service book, we find that below such endorsement, there is no date. The entry -: 2 :- in the service book is required to be corrected after the competent authority passes an order in that regard. However, such order of the competent authority in consequence of such correction made in the service book is not available. This is required to be taken into consideration. Except the service book, in all the seniority lists which have been published from time to time, the date of birth of the petitioner was shown as 1.6.1949 and the petitioner has not taken any objection to those entries till 1997. 3. In view of these and such other facts and circumstances of this case, what we find is that the view taken by the Government and the Administrative Tribunal is a plausible view and not an unjust view. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we refrain from entertaining this petition. 4. The Writ Petition is rejected. (A.A. KUMBHAKONI, J.) (S.B. MHASE, J.)
