| The Supreme Court is today hearing the army chief's case against the government - General VK Singh wants his date of birth to be accepted as 1951, and not 1950 as some records state.
The Defence Ministry has, in a major move, withdrawn its order that rejected the army chief's petition to change his date of birth. That order, dated December 30, was faulted by the Supreme Court at its last hearing on the matter exactly one week ago. The judges said the technique used by the government to turn down General VK Singh's request was "vitiated" or faulty.
The court had said that if the government didn't revoke the order, the judges would invalidate it. That was seen as a victory for the General in the first round of his legal battle. | |
