VARSHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No. 12143 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 9th day of April, 2008. = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = = J U D G M E N T The petitioner seeks consideration of Ext.P4 application filed by the petitioner before the respondent for condonation of delay in applying for correction of date of birth in the S.S.L.C. Book. The petitioner is aged 55 years. The note to Sub Rule (1A) of Rule 3 of Chapter VI of Kerala Education Rules specifically stipulates that delay can be condoned only if the applicant is within 50 years of age. That being so, the respondent cannot validly consider Ext.P4 application. Therefore I do not find any merit in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE bkn/-
