IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11096 of 2005 SHAKUNTALA DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5/ 9/7/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 30.6.2004 as appended at annexure-1 holding that the scheduled date of retirement was 31.10.1998 in accordance with her date of birth recorded in the service book as 7.10.1940. It appears from the facts of the case that days prior to her retirement, the petitioner on 14.10.1998, by annexure-7, filed an application that her date of birth in her service book had wrongly been recorded as 7.10.1940 which should have been 7.10.1948. Counter affidavit has been filed disputing the claim to submit that such correction at the fag end of service cannot be entertained for which reliance has been placed on the provisions of Bihar Finance Rules (part-1), 1996. The law stand well settled that no claim for correction in the date of birth can be entertained at a stage when the tenure of the employee is virtually coming to an end and during which tenure no objections were raised. In any event, the question of the date of birth of the petitioner on her own representation satisfies this Court that it involves disputed questions of fact also which cannot be adjudicated in a writ - 2 - petition. The writ application accordingly stands dismissed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J )
