THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27299 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner joined in the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (for short ‘the Corporation’) as Driver in the year 1987. According to him, his date of birth was mentioned in the service records as 23.12.1954. Recently, he was found unfit to drive the vehicle and was accordingly given an option to retire from service on medical grounds. The petitioner, in turn, exercised the option and retired on medical grounds with effect from 12.05.2011. However, his date of birth was taken as 12.05.1953. The date of birth of an employee retired on medical grounds becomes relevant in the context of calculating the benefits for the leftover period of service. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the action of the respondents in taking his date of birth as 12.05.1953. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner has no grievance about his being declared medically unfit and he has been retired on that ground on 12.05.2011. The Scheme introduced by the Corporation provides for certain benefits to such employees. The extent of service rendered up to the date of retirement as well as the left over service becomes relevant. Naturally, for the second limb of the relief, the date of birth plays its role. The basis on which the respondents have taken the date of birth of the petitioner as 12.05.1953 is not mentioned in the proceedings nor any other material is placed before this Court. In case the petitioner is of the view that his date of birth is 23.12.1954, he can certainly make a representation to the respondents enclosing the material. It is stated that a representation, dated 17.08.2010, made by the petitioner is pending in this regard. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representation, dated 17.08.2010, made by the petitioner within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 29.09.2011. kdl
