Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Rishabh Tripathi, learned counsel for all the respondents. With the consent of learned counsel appearing for the contesting parties, the writ petition is being finally disposed of. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that at the time of his initial appointment as a Daily Wager in the year 1982, as per the High School certificate, his date of birth was correctly recorded as 10.12.1965.

10.12.1963 and prays that the correct date of birth i.e.

10.12.1965 be continued to be recorded in the service records. After arguing the matter at some length, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that with regard to the reliefs sought in the writ petition, the petitioner may be permitted to submit a fresh representation before the respondent no.2 i.e. Regional Manager, U.P.
