ORDER : Abdul Quddhose, J. PRAYER: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, praying for a Writ of Certiorarified Mandamus, to call for the entire records relating to the impugned order passed by the fourth respondent vide his proceedings in Ma.Ni.20/35620/2016 dated 03.03.2016 and quash the same as illegal and consequently to direct the respondents to permit the petitioner to continue in service as “Sanitary Worker” in the office of the third respondent till her actual date of retirement ie., 20.03.2026 and further to direct the respondents to pay salary and all other attendant benefits to the petitioner. The petitioner has challenged the order of the fourth respondent rejecting his request for alteration of his date of birth from 21.03.1956 to 21.03.1966. 2.The fourth respondent while rejecting the petitioner's request under the impugned order has stated that the petitioner's request has been made belatedly and he cannot also challenge his retirement order. 3.Admittedly, the petitioner has not sought for rectification of his date of birth within 5 years from the date of his appointment as per the terms and conditions of the appointment order. He seeks for alteration of his date of birth from 21.03.1956 to 21.03.1966. 4.This Writ Petition has been filed only after he retired from service on 20.03.2016. The petitioner has not produced any order from any Court of law or any other documentary evidence to prove that he was born only on 21.03.1966 and not on 21.03.1956, which is the correct date of birth as per the Service Records maintained by the respondent Corporation. 5.For the foregoing reasons, this Court does not find any merit in this writ petition. Accordingly, this Writ Petition stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
