Now the petitioner realized that her date of birth has been wrongly mentioned in the school records and in the service records. She alleged to have made a representation on 17-8-2004 to the 4th respondent and the same was not considered by the 4th respondent giving a reply dated 18-8-2004. Subsequently, the petitioner made a representation to the first respondent on 20-08-2004. But no orders have been passed by the first respondent. The petitioner is seeking correction of the date of birth from 9-10-1946 as 9-10-1948. The legal position on this subject is very clear. The request of an employee for correction of date of birth at the fag end of the service cannot be considered. The petitioner cannot maintain the writ petition. The first respondent is at liberty to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 20-8-2004. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ 24th September, 2004.
