THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 32410 of 2011. ORDER: (Per Goda Raghuram, J) This writ petition is misconceived. What is challenged in this writ petition is the order of the learned Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad Bench (for short ‘the Tribunal’) dt.30.6.2011 rejecting the petitioner’s application O.A.No. 466 of 2011 seeking a direction to the respondents to consider his representation for correction of his date of birth as 13.1.1956 instead of 13.1.1952, as recorded in the Service Record. The petitioner entered service as Hospital Attendant in 1974 in South Central Railway, Secunderabad. He claims to have learnt sometime in 2010 that his date of birth is 13.1.1956 and not 13.1.1952 as recorded and seeking alteration of his date of birth, he made a representation in 2010. Since his representation was not considered, he approached the Tribunal. The Tribunal rejected the application on the ground that Rule 225 of the India Railway Establishment Code Volume-I enjoins that every person entering into railway service shall declare his date of birth; that date of birth shall be entered in the record of service in the railway servant’s own hand writing; and alteration of date of birth shall not ordinarily be permitted subsequently. Rule 225 (4)(ii) & (iii) also does not enable correction of date of birth at a belated stage and at the fag end of service, as in this case. The Tribunal relied on the decisions of the Supreme Court, which enunciated the principle that belated correction of date of birth is not permissible, for dismissing the application. This Court discerns no error in the application of law or exercise of discretion warranting judicial review. No merits in the writ petition; it is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J _____________________________ G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY, J 12.12.2011. KRB.
