JUSTICE G.YETHIRAJULU Writ Petition No.17156 of 2004 ORDER: The petitioner is working as a Deputy Executive Engineer in the second respondent- Department. He contends that his date of birth was wrongly entered in the school records, which was also incorporated in the service record. He made a representation to the first respondent seeking an order for the correction of the date of birth as 13.12.1949 instead of 13.12.1946. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the District Collector did not pass any order on the application made by him. He wants to get the date of birth corrected for the purpose of extension of the date of superannuation. The legal position is very clear that the petitioner is not entitled to get date of birth corrected for the purpose of his employment at the belated stage. He cannot maintain the writ petition in this regard. 3. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ Dr.G.YETHIRAJULU, J Dated: 23rd September, 2004.
