Age Petition:Indian General V.K Singh Withdrew His Petition.

The Supreme Court of India disposed off Army Chief General VK Singh’s petition, today.

Gen Singh’s counsel, senior advocate UU Lalit, withdrew the petition, stating that his client didn’t want to prolong the matter any further.

General VK Singh wants the government to accept that he was born in 1951; the government says it has to abide by records that show he was born a year earlier. This impacts when he will have to retire, though the General says that's not what he's worried about.

The Ministry of Defence had earlier rejected Army Chief's statutory complaint seeking a correction of his date of birth in the army records.
