By Ext.P1, the Municipality asked him to produce birth certificate. Petitioner says that his birth was not registered and that his request for registration also has been turned down. However, he says that a Doctor examined him and has issued Ext.P3 certificate, certifying his age. In view of the non availability of birth certificate, he made Ext.P7 representation to the Municipality requesting to consider his application for appointment without insisting on the production of birth certificate. The request has not been considered, and therefore the writ petition is filed. 2. I heard the standing counsel appearing for the respondent Municipality also. 3. In the circumstances as noticed above, the only order that can be passed is to direct the Municipality to consider Ext.P7 in the light of Ext.P3 certificate issued by the Doctor. This shall be WPC No. 15835/10 :2 : done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
