THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No. 12040 of 2001 ORAL ORDER: (Per T. Meena Kumari, J) The writ petition is filed seeking writ of mandamus seeking directions to the respondents to take back the petitioner into service and to continue the petitioner in service up to 30.6.2005 treating her date of birth as 1.7.1945 with all consequential benefits. The case of the petitioner is that she is under-aged and therefore she approached the respondents to correct her date of birth as 16.7.1945 instead of 1.7.1940. Heard both sides. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that her date of birth is 16.7.1945 and mistakenly it was mentioned as 1.7.1940. Therefore, she approached the respondents for correction of her date of birth. The learned counsel for the respondents submits that the contention of the petitioner cannot be accepted. He relies on the judgment of the Supreme Court reported in PUNJAB & HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Vs. MEGH RAJ GARG[1], wherein it was held that a government servant can make an application for correction of age within two years from the date of entry into service. The Supreme Court further held that the claim made by an employee long after entering into service cannot be entertained. In view of the foregoing discussions and also in view of the judgment of the Supreme Court reported in Megh Raj Garg’s case (1st cited supra), the writ petition filed by the petitioner is not maintainable and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, we do not find any merits in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. _______________________ T.
