WA 347/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE H.N.SARMA Heard Mr.SS Dey, learned counsel for the appellant, Mr.A Nath, learned State Cou nsel, Meghalaya for Respondent Nos.1, 2, 3, and 5 as well as Mr. Sen, learned co unsel for respondent No.4. The appellant filed a writ petition challenging the decision of the State/Respon dent to make correction to the service record of the 4th respondent herein as re gards to his date of birth. It may be mentioned herein that the date of birth of the 4th respondent was shown as 20.6.1949, but by virtue of the application, da ted 15.6.2009, the date of birth of the 4th respondent is altered to 20.6.1950. During the pendency of the writ petition, initially, there was an interim order not to give effect to the altered date of birth. Subsequently, the said interim order is vacated by the order now impugned in the present appeal. Learned counsel appearing for the 4th respondent, however, raised objection that the appellant has no locus-standi to raise the issue involved in the present li tigation. In view of the pendency of the writ petition, we do not propose to make any obse rvation in this regard as it may likely to affect the merits of the writ petitio n. But, in the background of the facts stated above, we deem it appropriate to d irect that the order impugned in the writ petition be kept in abeyance, in the m eantime, and the writ petition be heard and disposed of at an early date prefera bly, within two weeks from today. In the circumstances, Registry is directed to list the writ petition i.e., WP(C) 199(SH)/2009 for hearing before appropriate Bench on 25.11.2009 subject to Part -Heard. Writ Appeal is, therefore, disposed of.
