(1.) IN assailment is the judgment and order dated 28.6.2013 rendered by the learned Central Administrative Tribunal, Jodhpur Bench, Jodhpur (for short, hereafter referred to as "the Tribunal") in O.A.No.249/2013 interfering with the rejection of the respondent-applicant's prayer for alteration of his date of birth from 12.6.1953 to 12.6.1958 and directing the petitioners to make necessary corrections therein and allowing all consequential benefits to him on the basis thereof.

(2.) WE have heard Mr.Kamal Dave, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. Vijay Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent.

(3.) AS the above text would reveal, thereby the learned Tribunal interfered with the rejection of his representation and directed a fresh consideration thereof by the concerned Railway authorities taking into account all relevant records and the recommendation made by the Divisional Railway Manager, North Western Railway, Jodhpur in favour of the correction of his date of birth as sought for. The respondent-applicant accordingly submitted a representation on 5.6.2013 and the petitioner no.3 by his letter dated 14.6.2013 conveyed to him the decision of the General Manager (Personnel), North Western Railway, Jaipur (petitioner no.2) rejecting his request for change of date of birth having been made at the fag end of his service career. He thus returned to the learned Tribunal for redress.
