RADHAKRISHNAN & ANTONY DOMINIC, JJ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- W.P.C. No 12826 of 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dated: 25th May, 2007. JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan, J. This writ petition is preferred against the order passed in O.A. No 548 of 2006. Application was preferred by the petitioner seeking correction of date of birth in service records. According to her, she made an application on 28.8.1991. Though the application was received it was noticed that it was not supported by any certificate for proof of age. Later she submitted representation dated 15.09.2004 stating that the certificate for proof of age would be produced on receipt of the same from the Registrar of Birth and Death. Later on receipt of the birth certificate she submitted the same along with representation dated 3.10.2005. Request was rejected by the Department on the ground that she had not applied within five years from the date of entry into service. Counsel submitted that the application submitted in the year 1991 was a proper one and should have been entertained. Facts would indicate though the application WPC 12826/2007 2 was filed in 1991 no supporting document had been produced and therefore there is no proper application in the eye of law. In such circumstances, the Tribunal rejected the request for making correction of date of birth, in our view, rightly. This writ petition therefore cannot be entertained. It is dismissed. Sd/- K.S.
