Court: Jharkhand

Decided on: Mar-16-2007

Reported in: [2007(115)FLR544]; [2007(3)JCR595(Jhr)]

R.K. Merathia, J.1. Petitioner's grievance is that he has been prematurely retired.2. From the service book produced by the Board, it is clear that petitioner's age was originally recorded as '30 years as per doctor's report'. In a different pen and handwriting, '8.11.1947' is mentioned just below the said entry, without any authentication.3. Mr. M.K. Sinha appearing for the petitioner submitted that the service book was in the custody of the employees of the Board and therefore, petitioner has no hand in such manipulation.The manipulation is apparent. As petitioner is sought to be benefited by such manipulation, it can be safely presumed that he got it done with the connivance of the concerned employees of the Board.4. Mr. M.K. Sinha further submitted that Petitioner's age i.e. 30 years, was recorded when the service book was Filled up on 23.2.1970 and not when he joined the service on 8.11.1967.There is nothing on the record to support such contention. Moreover, at the time of appoin...
