JUDGMENT

[Judgment of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.] Being aggrieved by the order of the Writ Court, dated 02.03.2023 made in W.P(MD)No.12198 of 2018, the appellant/writ petitioner has filed this writ appeal.

2. The appellant/writ petitioner is aggrieved by the dismissal of the writ petition, the prayer in which was to quash the order rejecting the request for correction of his date of birth from 01.07.1960 to 03.04.1962. Apart from the fact that the said request for correction was made based on a certificate issued by the University which came into existence in the year 2006, the request for correction itself was made after a period of five years which is beyond the time prescribed under Rule 49(b) of Tamil Nadu State and Subordinate Service Rules. The Writ Court has rightly rejected the claim of the writ petitioner on the ground of delay only.

3. We do not find any irregularity or infirmity in the order of the writ Court to enable us to entertain this writ appeal. Therefore, the writ appeal stands dismissed. No Costs.
