The learned counsel submits that the petitioner has only enclosed the admit card showing his date of birth and that even in the Matriculation certificate his date of birth has been entered as 11.02.1966. The learned counsel submits that although the petitioner submitted prayer for correction of his date of birth as 15.01.1968 on the basis of his Class- IV certificate but the respondent authority concerned has not considered his representation and therefore he is before this Court.

[3.] Be that as it may, having regard to the fact that the petitioner prays for consideration of his representation and passing of a speaking Order, this Court proposes to disposed of this writ petition at this stage by directing the petitioner to file a fresh representation stating precisely the ground on which he seeks correction of his date of birth with supporting documents, if any, within a period of one (1) week from today.
