JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO :28415 of 2007 ORDER: (Per the Honourable Smt. Justice T.Meena Kumari) This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking to set aside the orders in O.A.No.8782/2001 on 21.3.2006 as confirmed in Review M.A.No.1067/2006 along with M.A.No.1545/07, dt.11.12.2007, passed by the Hon'ble A.P. Administrative Tribunal and consequently direct the respondents to continue the petitioner in service by treating his date of birth as 14.12.1953 instead of 1.6.1949 with all the consequential benefits. The petitioner is the applicant and he filed the O.A. seeking a direction to the respondents to alter the date of birth in his service register from 1.6.1949 to 14.12.1953 by declaring the endorsement No:Rc.D2/4078/2001, dated 19.10.2001 of the 1st respondent as illegal. The tribunal having observed that earlier, by order dated 31.7.2001, it has directed the respondents to examine the representation of the applicant as per rules issued in G.O.Ms.No:165, dated 21.4.1984 and to pass appropriate orders thereon and in pursuance thereof, the order impugned dated 19.10.2001 was passed by the 1st respondent and thereby, the claim of the applicant for correction of date of birth was rejected, dismissed the O.A. Heard the learned counsel and perused the entire material available on record and the order impugned herein. It is apparent on the face of the record that pursuant to the earlier orders of the tribunal, dated 31.7.2001, the representation of the applicant was examined as per the rules issued in G.O.Ms.No:165, dated 21.4.1984 and the claim of the applicant for correction of date of birth was rejected by order dated 19.10.2001, which was impugned in the present O.A. Since the claim has been examined as per the rules issued in G.O.Ms.No:165, dated 21.4.1984, the tribunal has rightly rejected the claim of the applicant. Hence, We see no merits in this writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ________________________ Justice T.Meena Kumari ______________________ Justice G.Chandraiah Dated:17.3.2008 Gurc/nn THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI & THE HON'BLE SRI.
