The petitioner was enrolled by the respondents on 30-04-1994. He states that his date of birth was entered in the service records as 04-02-1953. His grievance is that the respondents are proposing him to retire him with effect from 30-09-2011, on attaining the age of superannuation of 60 years, by treating his date of birth as 05-09-1951. He challenges the action of the respondents. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner places heavy reliance upon the entries made in the list of Hamalies, published by a Cooperative Society of Throvagunta Village, Ongole Mandal, Prakasam District. In that list, the date of birth of the petitioner is mentioned as 04-02-1953. On receiving the notice in the writ petition, the respondents have filed before this Court, various documents pertaining to the petitioner. It is evident that in the bio-data form submitted by the petitioner, the date of birth was mentioned as 04-02-1953. However, at the time of enrollment, he was subjected to medical test, and the medical officer has certified the age of the petitioner as 45 years, as on 05-09-1996, and since there was no other proof, his date of birth was treated as 05- 09-1951. This was entered in the service records. Further, the petitioner submitted several applications, and forms for contributory provident fund, nomination and declaration, etc. In all of them, his date of birth was mentioned as 05-09-1951, and he subscribed the signature. The petitioner has also submitted an application for payment of 90% provident fund, and in that application also, he mentioned his date of birth as 05-09-1951. The amount of Rs.1,89,000/- was sanctioned, and the petitioner has withdrawn the same. Under these circumstances, the plea of the petitioner, that his date of birth must be treated as 04-02-1953, cannot be accepted. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.16-09-2011. KO
