NEW DELHI: The Indian Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking a direction to the government to restore the Army Chief Gen V K Singh's date of birth as May 10, 1951 saying it was not maintainable in law.
Singh on Monday dragged the government to the court as he filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court over age row.
Troubles erupted when Singh claimed that his year of birth is 1951 and not 1950 as recorded by the Ministry of Defence.
The official records of the Army show two different dates of birth for Singh.
In one record, his date of birth is maintained as May 10, 1951 and the other shows him to be born on May 10, 1950.
Singh is likely to retire from his post in 2012 as the Ministry rejected his application seeking a correction of his date of birth.
