PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF HOME, GOVT. OF BIHAR, HAVING ITS OFFICE MAIN SECRETARIATE, PATNA. 3. THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 4. THE RANGE D.I.G., MUNGER. 5. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, MUNGER. 6. THE SARGENT MAJOR, DISTRICT POLICE FORCE, MUNGER. ... ... RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 31.7.2009. Petitioner is aggrieved by the Munger District Order No.1149/2009 bearing Memo No.2208 dated 28.6.2009 where under he has been informed that he shall superannuate with effect from 1.7.2009 on attaining the age of 60 years as per entries made in his service book. Counsel for the petitioner states that the aforesaid order is absolutely arbitrary and in teeth of the matriculation certificate of the petitioner dated 1st September,1967, which indicates that his date of birth is 11.10.1950 on the basis of which he could not have been superannuated with effect from 1st July,2009. Such submission has been noted only for being rejected as if the - 2 - N.H./ petitioner’s year of birth, entered in the service book was contrary to his matriculation certificate, it was for him to have requested the authorities to correct the same in the service book in terms of the provisions contained in the Bihar Financial Rules which enjoins the service holder to request the authorities to correct the date/year of birth within ten years of entry in service. Petitioner having not availed such opportunity within the time granted under the Financial Rules, at the fag end of his service, I am not inclined to re-open the matter in regard to the date of birth recorded in his service book. Accordingly, this writ application is dismissed. However, with liberty to the petitioner to appear before the Superintendent of Police, Munger and to ask him to make available the service book so that he can verify his age recorded in the service book.
