CORAM : B.R. GAVAI AND P.N. DESHMUKH
, JJ.
DATED : 24
FEBRUARY, 2016
th
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

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.
