CWP No. 670 of 2009 13.03.2009 Present: Mr. Lokender Paul Thakur, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General, for the respondents. CMP No. 1197 of 2009: Allowed. CWP No. 670 of 2009: The petitioner who is to retire on 31.3.2009 filed representation on 20.9.2008 i.e. less than six months before his retirement, to respondent No. 2, praying that his date of birth may be corrected from 12.3.1951 to 12.3.1952. Shri Lokender Pal Thakur, learned counsel for the petitioner, states that his only prayer is that his representation may be decided on or before 31.3.2009, which is the date of his retirement. We cannot accept this prayer since the petitioner has filed his representation at the fag end of his career after having rendered about 35 years of service. We, therefore, dispose of this writ petition with the direction to respondent No. 2 to dispose of the representation of the petitioner on or before 31.7.2009. We may make it absolutely clear that we have not expressed any opinion on …2… the merits of the case and the question whether the representation is belated or not, shall be decided by the appropriate authority. The writ petition is disposed of. CMP No. 1196 of 2009: In view of the final disposal of the main petition, this application has become infructuous. ( Deepak Gupta ), J. March 13, 2009 ( V.K.
