THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.14004 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner has joined in Sri Sarvodaya College, the 3rd respondent herein, as Part-Time Lecturer in Physics in 1985, and subsequently his services were regularized on 16-10-1999 against a vacancy, which is admitted to grant-in-aid. The date of birth was mentioned in the service records as 01-07-1950. On that basis, he scheduled to retire on 31-07-2008. The petitioner submitted a representation dated 27-06-2008 to the respondents, with a prayer to correct his date of birth as 08-05-1952. He places reliance upon the date of birth certificate, dated 21-06-1984, issued by the Nellore Municipality. He complains that his representation was not taken into account, and is sought to be retired on the basis of the date of birth in the records. Heard Sri S. Lakshmi Narayana Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Higher Education. Hardly there exists any limit, for the anxiety or greed, of even an educated person, to remain in service, to the extent possible, even by pleading distorted and untenable facts. By the time the petitioner entered the service of the 3rd respondent-college, he was a post- graduate, and all the particulars were mentioned, including the date of birth, by him, with his own handwriting. Even assuming that there was any discrepancy or omission in the year 1985, by the time the petitioner joined as a part-time lecturer, an occasion to examine all the information and particulars arose, on 16-10-1999, when he was regularized against an aided vacancy of Junior Lecturer. The date of birth was clearly mentioned in the matriculation certificate, as well as the subsequent records. Now also, the petitioner does not dispute the entries in the certificates. He has chosen to obtain a certificate from the Municipality, to contradict the entries in the service records. Even where a mistake creeps into the service records, as to date of birth, it must be rectified at the earliest point of time, and attempts made at the fag end of the service cannot be entertained. Any claim about the date of birth, contrary to the one, mentioned in the matriculation certificate; does not deserve any consideration. The claim of the petitioner is absolutely without any basis. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.03-07-2008. KO
