Court: Patna

Decided on: Jul-14-2003

Ravi S. Dhavan, CJ., Shashank Kumar Singh, J.1. The Court is not repeating any aspect in any of orders recorded in this case.

Naiyar Hussain, Senior Advocate, G.P. 2 and Mr. C.K.P. Bhagat, S.C. 1.2. The fact that a State cheque has been dishonoured and that also when the proceedings in Court show that payment was due after a case had been filed is serious enough.3.

Court: Patna

Ravi S. Dhavan, C.J. and R.N. Prasad, J. 1. The issue raised in the present petition, while challenging the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal, is that the petitioner has been retired wrongly.2. The basic issue is the date of birth. The tribunal was of the opinion that it struck the petitioner very late to attempt to challenge his date of birth. Even the school certificate was obtained at the time when the petitioner was about to retire. Thus, the record which was lying with the railways administration is the record which the petitioner left with the railway and challenged the date of birth at a belated stage which was not accepted by the tribunal.3. There is no merit in this petition. Accordingly it is dismissed....
