1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.4457 OF 2008 (Shri Tulshiram s/o Aatmaram Dahagane vs. Western Coalfields Ltd. and another) __________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : JUNE 26, 2009 Heard Shri Dubey, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and Shri Mehadia, learned Counsel for the respondents. Shri Dubey, learned Counsel for the petitioner, states that the grievance of the petitioner is in respect of date of birth entered in service book of the Western Coalfields Ltd. It is submitted that date of birth of the petitioner, which is mentioned in the service book, is 31.5.1949. However, correct date of birth of the petitioner is 29.4.1953. It is not in dispute that the petitioner joined the service in the year 1974 and is also retired 2 from service on 31.5.2009. Since petitioner has already been retired from service, it is difficult for us to entertain grievance of the petitioner at such a belated stage. The petitioner placed reliance on the decision of this Court, dated 3.7.2001 rendered in Writ Petition No. 1855/2001. Considering the facts of the present case, apart from delay, the adjudication in respect of date of birth had in fact already taken place while petitioner was in service and issue was already concluded and, therefore, in our view, decision cited by the learned Counsel for the petitioner does not further the case of the petition. The petition is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE khj
