IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.7466 of 2010 Date of Decision : April 27, 2010. Ram Parkash .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Kushaldeep S.Sandhu, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct the respondents to consider him eligible for recruitment to the post of Constable on the basis of the birth certificate (Annexure P-1) according to which he was born on 22.5.1985, though in the matriculation certificate (Annexure P-2), his date of birth is 5.10.1984. Suffice it to observe that as per the date of birth given in the matriculation certificate, the petitioner is over-age for recruitment to the post of a Constable. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length, I am of the considered view that no case to issue the direction as prayed for i.e. to consider the petitioner eligible for the post of a C.W.P.No .7466 of 2010 2 Constable, is made out. The petitioner is required to seek a declaration from an appropriate Court of law regarding his correct date of birth and thereafter get his date of birth corrected in the matriculation certificate to seek the desired relief. With the aforesaid liberty, the writ petition is dismissed. Dasti. April 27, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
