1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR W.P. No.1619 of 2008 (Ekbal Ahmad s/o. Vali Mohammed Quraishi .vs. Chief General Manager WCL & Ors.) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions : Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CORAM : D.D.Sinha and Smt. Vasanti A. Naik, JJ. DATE : 2.6.2008. Heard Mr. V.A.Dhabe, Adv. for Petitioner and Mr.S.C.Mehadia, Adv. for Respondent Nos. 1 and 2. This Writ Petition is directed against the notice dt.11.1.2008 issued by Mine Superintendent/Manager whereby the petitioner is informed that he shall complete the age of 60 years on 30.6.2008, on which date his services will come to an end. Considered the contentions canvassed by respective counsel. Following facts are not in dispute. That the petitioner was appointed in service on 16.10.1973 and at the relevant time, on the basis of the information submitted by the petitioner, the age of petitioner in the service book was recorded by the respondents as 25 years. Similarly, the respondents are maintaining Form B Register under the Mines Act and the Rules. In the said Form B Register the date of birth of the petitioner was also 2 recorded as 1.7.1948 and the petitioner has signed said document in token of acceptance thereof. Similarly, the service excerpt (document) required to be submitted by the petitioner was submitted by the petitioner on 28.7.1987 wherein the date of birth of the petitioner has been mentioned as 1.7.1948. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the petitioner has signed this service excerpt, however, the contents in the said document were not filled in by him. In the backdrop of above referred facts, it is evident that the petitioner was appointed in the year 1973 and he has not disputed the date of birth which was mentioned in Form B and so far as the service excerpt is concerned, the petitioner has also not disputed that he has signed the said document. In such a situation and at such a belated stage, it is difficult for us to consider the request of the petitioner. In the circumstances, the petition suffers from lack of merits. Hence, the same is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE ssj
