JUDGMENT :

Heard learned counsel for the parties through V.C.

2. The instant writ application has been preferred by the petitioner praying for a direction upon the respondent authorities to correct the date of birth of the petitioner as 01.07.1959 in place of 01.07.1950.

3. Mr. Binod Kumar Jha, learned counsel for the petitioner draws attention of this Court towards Annexure-1 and tried to impress this Court that his date of birth has been mentioned as 01.07.1959. He further referred to the Annexure-2 (Coal Mines Provident Fund Form-A) wherein also his date of birth has been mentioned as 01.07.1959.

He further contended that later on the respondent-company managed to manipulate his date of birth as 01.07.1950 in Form-B register (Annexure-3) which is not correct and immediately after knowing this fact he represented before the respondent. However, nothing has been done and a notice has been issued to the petitioner whereby he was forced to retire on 01.07.2010 as per wrong date of birth, which is bad in law and deserves to be set aside.

4. Mr. Arpan Mishra, learned counsel for the respondents submits that as per Form B register (Annexure-3); the date of birth of the petitioner is 01.07.1
