COMMON JUDGMENT ( Per B.R. Gavai, J.)

1. Heard.

2. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. By consent of the parties,

the petition is taken up for hearing finally.

3. The limited relief claimed in the petition is for direction to

respondent nos. 2 to 5 to correct the name of the petitioner in the service

book.

4. The petitioner is working with the respondent nos. 2 to 5 as

Dumper Operator Grade-A. It appears that since the petitioner belongs to

"Teli" community, in the village record after his father's name "Murateli" has

been written. Accordingly, in the service record petitioner's name is shown

as "Vithal Mukharu Murateli".

5. Undisputedly, the petitioner has completed all the necessary

formalities. Not only that, but a gazette notification is also issued by the State

of Maharashtra wherein his surname has been shown as "Mule".

6. We accordingly find that there is no reason why the limited relief

claimed by the petitioner should not be granted.

7. The respondents nos. 2 to 5 are, therefore, directed to make

necessary correction in the service book of the petitioner and change his

3 wp516-16.odt

surname as "Mule". The same shall be done within a period of four weeks

from today.

8. Petition is allowed. Rule is made absolute in the aforesaid terms

with no order as to costs.
