Just two months prior to the filing of the writ petition, the petitioner came to know that instead of entering his date of birth as 10.07.1960, his date of birth has been entered as 11.05.1959 in the service records. In this regard, the petitioner has also submitted a representation dated 31.08.2016 praying to alter the date of birth as 10.07.1969 and despite receipt of the same, he is yet to be favoured with any kind of response. Hence, he came forward to file this writ petition.
