No prejudice was done to Gen Singh: SC

February 10, 2012 13:53

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh declines to comment on the age controversy of the Army Chief, saying that the matter is before the court.

In brief, here's what the Supreme Court said:

No prejudice was done to Gen Singh.

Government has full faith in him.

Gen Singh has to abide by his commitment and honour his letters of 2008 and 2009 accepting the date of birth as May 10, 1950.

Looking into constraint of judicial review, the decision of government on his date of birth will continue to be there.

Singh's writ petition was not for determination of date of birth but for recognition of date of birth in official records.
