DATE ORDER WITH SIGNATURE OF HON’BLE JUDGE

1- For orders on CMA.No.2159 of 2013 (Ex.A)

2- For Katcha Peshi.

3- For hearing of CMA.No.2160/2013 (Stay)

28^th. March, 2016.

Mr. Talib Ali Memon, Advocate for Petitioners.

Mr. Liaquat Ali Shar, Addl: A.G.

At the very outset learned Addl: A.G has raised objection with regard to maintainability of instant petition, as the petitioners have sought correction of their date of birth in service record.

While confronted as to maintainability of instant petition, in view of recent decision of this Court as well as Hon’ble Supreme Court, wherein it has been categorically stated that the forum for seeking correction of date of birth in respect of a civil servant / public servant is the concerned department or to file suit for declaration, whereas, the limitation is two years from joining the service, the learned Counsel for the petitioners could not dispute such legal position nor could satisfactorily responded to such query of this Court. However, it has been submitted that instant petition may be disposed of by allowing the petitioners to approach the concerned authority and the Court for seeking redressal of their grievance in accordance with law.

Accordingly, instant petition stands dismissed along with listed applications. However, the petitioners may be at liberty to seek any other remedy as may be available to them in accordance with law.
