Since there was a discrepancy with reference to the date of birth, he has applied to the District Treasury Officer, Dindigul for making necessary alteration in the Service Register relating to his date of birth. His actual date of birth is 29.03.1956 and the same was registered in the birth abstract in the Sub-Registrar Office, Vadamaduri. Since his parents are illiterate, in the S.S.L.C. Certificate, his date of birth was noted wrongly as 11.05.1953. After joining service, he immediately applied for alteration of date of birth in the Service Register. However, the same was not considered. Hence, he has applied to the District Collector through his representation dated 14.05.2008 for making alteration regarding the date of birth in his service register. However, the same was rejected by the District Collector. (ii) Thereafter, he has appeared in the special test conducted by TNPSC for regularizing his service. He has passed in the said test and got selected and allotted to Animal Husbandry Department by the order of the first respondent dated 22.12.2009. After joining the department, immediately he made a representation for making alteration in the Service Register pertaining to his date of birth. He has furnished all the particulars through the fifth respondent. However, the case of the petitioner was not considered, which made the petitioner to approach this Court by filing the present Writ Petition. 4. Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the second respondent to consider the grievance of the petitioner as put forth by him for alteration of date of birth in accordance with law.
