Supreme Court dismissed the PIL asking for Restoration of Army Chief’s Date of Birth - CURRENT AFFAIRS 2



The Supreme Court of India on 20 January 2012 dismissed a PIL seeking a direction to the government to restore the Army Chief Gen V K Singh's date of birth as 10 May 1951 and not as 1950. A bench headed by Chief Justice S H Kapadia ruled that the writ petition filed at the behest of an association is not maintainable. 

The court observed that this is purely a service matter. The court further said it is not expressing any opinion on the merits of the case.
