Civil Services- -- Retirement-Date of birth -Correction of-Local Government, after due consideration of evidence on record, rejecting request for correction of date of birth-Decision of Local Government found to be correct and upheld-G. F. Rules, Vol. 1, para. 116. ORDER MUHAMMAD DAUD KHAN (CHAIRMAN).-This is an appeal under section 4 of the Service Tribunals Act, 1973, by S. H. Haqqi, Junior Controller of Military Accounts.
