CWP(T) No. 5121/2008 (OA 1029/98) 04.05.2010 Present: Mr. Jivesh Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Anjula Khajuria, Advocate, for the respondents. With effect from 4.6.1965 the petitioner was engaged on daily wage basis with the respondent/Board. His services were subsequently regularized as T-mate. During the course of his engagement he moved an application in September, 1997 seeking correction of his date of birth. No action was taken by the respondents hence he filed the instant petition before the erstwhile Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal at Shimla which stands transferred to this Court and renumbered. 2. During the pendency of the present petition, the petitioner has retired. The respondents have not taken any decision on the petitioner’s representation. Though in the return filed by the respondents it is urged that the petitioner’s representation is time barred but however it is a matter of fact that no decision has been taken on the same so far. The Rules rendering the petitioner’s representation to be time barred have not been placed on record. Though, office memorandum dated 10.9.1991 to this effect has been placed on record. Be that as it may be, the fact of the matter is that on the date petitioner filed representation he was in service and no decision was taken on the same. In these circumstances the respondents are directed to decide the petitioner’s representation within a period of twelve weeks from the date of the receipt of the -2- certified copy of the order. The decision shall be communicated to the petitioner. 3. With the aforesaid observations the present petition stands disposed of. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. May 04, 2010 (PK)
