THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.21163 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner joined the service of Singereni Collieries initially, on 27.04.1975. At that time, his age was mentioned as 22 years, as on that date. He left the service three years thereafter. He was appointed once again on 05.07.1981, as Howlar Operator. This time, his age was mentioned as 30 years, as on 05.07.1981. The petitioner states that his actual date of birth is 24.08.1954 and he will attain the age of superannuation of 60 years, only in August, 2014. Through various communications, the respondents informed the petitioner that he would attain the age of superannuation in 2011 itself. He feels aggrieved by the action of the respondents. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It appears that the petitioner did not file any documentary proof, as to his date of birth, when he joined the service of the Company, on both the occasions. A rough estimate of his age was made by the Medical Practitioner. There is slight discrepancy between the estimates made on two occasions. In case the petitioner is of the view that his actual age, or date of birth, is not reflected in the service records, he can avail the facility of reference of his case to the Medical Board. In their counter-affidavit, the respondents have categorically stated that, if the petitioner is willing, they are prepared to send his case to the Apex Medical Board. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to refer the case of the petitioner to the Apex Medical Board for determination of his age, before he is retired from service, and complete the exercise within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.26.10.2010. Note: Furnish C.C. in one week. (B/o) GJ
