PETITIONER Vs. THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA & ANR. .. RESPONDENTS Mr. Tejas Deshpande for petitioner Mrs. M.P. Thakur, AGP CORAM: SMT. RANJANA DESAI SMT. R. S. DALVI,JJ. DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 2007. P.C. The petitioner has challenged order dated 23/2/06 passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, Mumbai in Original Application No. 701 of 2006. By the impugned order the Tribunal has rejected the original application of the petitioner praying that order dated 23/2/06 issued by the State Government be set aside and a direction be issued to the State Government to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner seeking alteration in his date of birth from 1/1/1949 to 1/1/1951. 2 . We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner got to know that his birth date is incorrectly recorded in August, 2003. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to substantiate this contention. . In our opinion, relying on judgment of the Supreme Court in State of Gujarat & Ors. v. Vali Mohamed Dosabhai Sindhi, AIR 2006 SC 2735, the Tribunal has correctly rejected the original application of the petitioner. The application is filed after lapse of 31 years. Such belated application cannot be entertained. There are no exceptional circumstances which can persuade us to take a different view. Writ Petition is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE
