Clerk in the Health Services Department due to retire on 31.3.2011. The petitioner seeks correction of date of birth in the service records. I directed the petitioner to produce proof that the petitioner has filed an application for correction of date of birth within the time stipulated in the Government Order in that regard. Despite two adjournments, the petitioner has not produced the evidence to show that an application was filed within time. The petitioner has approached this Court only at the fag end of her career to get correction of her date of birth. In the above circumstances, I am not inclined to exercise my discretionary jurisdiction in favour of the petitioner and accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd
