The petitioner was appointed as an Assistant Teacher in the year 1981. He made an application for correction of his birth date in the year 2005. Obviously, the application for correction of his birth date suffers from delay and latches. Even the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Regulation Rules, 1981 provide that after appointment the application for correction of birth date should be made within a period of five years. Therefore, we find that the application has been rightly : 2 : rejected by the Education Officer (Secondary). 3. We, therefore, refrain ourselves from entertaining the Writ Petition and it is, accordingly, rejected. Sd/- Sd/- [D.B. [D.B. [D.B. BHOSALE, J.] BHOSALE, J.] BHOSALE, J.] [S.B. [S.B. [S.B.
