THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 24921 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner joined the services of Singareni Collieries Company Limited on 07.11.1977. His date of birth was mentioned in the records as 31.05.1952. He states that he passed S.S.C. examination in 1972 and in the certificate, his date of birth is mentioned as 06.08.1954. According to the petitioner, the discrepancy in the date of birth was noticed only when his case was considered for promotion to the post of Controller in 1989. He contends that he made a representation in the year 2000 with a prayer to correct his date of birth. No action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. It was more than a decade ago that the petitioner is said to have submitted a representation pointing out the discrepancy in the date of birth. Thereafter, he did not pursue the matter with the required amount of attention. The Company had issued Circulars prescribing the procedure to be followed in the matter of correction of date of birth. Even now, the petitioner can submit a fresh representation and the respondent shall consider his case in accordance with the prescribed procedure. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to submit a representation narrating his grievance to the respondent and appropriate orders thereon shall be passed by the competent authority, within two months from the date of receipt of the representation. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:06.09.2011 Note: Issue cc in one week. (B/o) kdl
