M.Katju, J. - (1.) This special appeal has been filed against the judgment of the learned single Judge dated 3.4.2002.
(2.) We have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have perused the record.
(3.) The writ petitioner (respondent No. 1 in this special appeal) was appointed as chowkidar on 1.8.1965 in Sarvodaya Shiksha Sadan Inter College, Bheerpur, Allahabad which is a recognised aided institution. The initial date of birth of Dev Raj Tiwari was recorded in the service record as 1.1.1933 on his own statement in absence of his educational certificate. Subsequently it was found that the respondent No. 1 wilfully and deliberately made concealment of fact that he had taken education in Primary School, Khain, Karchana, Allahabad and his date of birth is recorded in school records as 12.6.1925. Thereafter the Principal of the Institution issued a notice to the respondent No. 1 on 16.7.1987 by registered post to show cause why his date of birth be not corrected in view of the school certificate. The Principal also sent a letter dated 3.8.1987 to respondent to file a medical certificate of the Chief Medical Officer, Allahabad in respect of his age. True copy of the letter dated 3.8.1987 is Annexure-1.;
