Thanga Rani vs The District Educational Officer

Madras High Court|04 August, 2017

JUDGMENT / ORDER

[Judgement of the Court was delivered by G.R.SWAMINATHAN,J.] The unsuccessful writ petitioner is on appeal, challenging the order dated 26.06.2014 made in W.P.(MD)No.10212 of 2014. The writ petitioner was appointed as a Junior Assistant in the second respondent school on 09.07.2003 on consolidate pay.
2.The writ petitioner was relived from service on 31.05.2014, on the ground that she had reached the age of superannuation. The writ petitioner would contend that her actual date of birth is 05.05.1963, but it was wrongly entered as 05.05.1956 in all the school records. She therefore filed O.S.No.4 of 2006 on the file of Additional District Munsif Court, Padmanabhapuram for declaring her correct age. The suit was dismissed. Her first Appeal was also dismissed. Hence she filed S.A.No.731 of 2011 before this Court and it is still pending.
3.It is the case of the writ petitioner that on account of the pendency of the second appeal, she should not be relieved from her service. She therefore filed the said writ petition, challenging the relieving order dated 31.05.2014. The same was dismissed by the learned Judge on 26.06.2014. Hence this intra Court appeal.
4.Inasmuch as, there is no binding order or decree in favour of the appellant herein as regards her correct age. The authorities will have to go by what is on record. Even according to the appellant, her civil proceedings ended in dismissal. What is pending is only the second appeal before this Court. Even in the second appeal, there is no interim order in favour of the appellant herein. Therefore, the authorities were absolutely justified in relieving her.
5.There is no merit in the Writ Appeal. This Writ Appeal stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
To:
1.The District Educational Officer, Thuckalay Educational District, Kanyakumari District.
2.The Head Master, Government Higher Secondary School, Thuckalay, Kanyakumari District.
