HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7619 of 2010 Dated: 26-04-2010 Between: M. Satyanarayana. … Petitioner And The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd., Kothagudem, rep. by its Chairman and Managing Director & another. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7619 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks declaration by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in taking steps to retire him from service on 30th of April 2010. The petitioner is presently working as a Security Guard in the Singareni Collieries Company Limited, a Government Company. By proceedings, dated 11th March 2010, issued in Ref.No.KGM/S&PC/ RD/10/328, the petitioner was informed about his date of attaining the age of superannuation i.e. 60 years, on 30th of April 2010. It is the case of the petitioner that he has studied up to 8th Class in Zilla Parishad High School, Mulkalapalli in Khammam District. It is stated that as per the transfer certificate issued by the said school, his date of birth is 11.04.1954, and in that view of the matter, he is entitled to continue in service for four more years. When the matter was listed on 07.04.2010 and 15.04.2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents, to get instructions. When the matter is taken up today, the learned Standing Counsel has produced a copy of the extract of Service Register and also the extract of the B- Register, prepared under the Mines Act. As per both the registers, the date of birth of the petitioner is 11.04.1950. When such an entry is recorded in the Service Register and B-Register, prepared under the Mines Act, the petitioner cannot seek for his continuation in service beyond 30.04.2010. The sole basis for the petitioner to claim continuance in service appears to be on the basis of the entry made in the 8th Class certificate. Though the petitioner has entered into service as early as on 26.11.1973, but at no point of time, he has made any attempt to seek correction of his date of birth. In that view of the matter, at this stage, when the he was informed about his date of retirement, he cannot seek for correction of date of birth in Service Register and also in the B- Register, so as to continue him in service beyond 30.04.2010. For the aforesaid reasons, I do not find any merit in this writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.
