Narendra Nath Tiwari, J.1. The grievance of the petitioner, in this writ petition, is that though he raised a grievance regarding the wrong entry of date of birth in the service records long before, but till date there has been no determination or assessment of his age.

After a long delay, University sent all the papers of the petitioner to J.P.S.C. under letter dated 21.11.2005.
