General V.K. Singh will withdraw his petition against the government in the Supreme Court over his age, a report said on Saturday.
The Army chief will withdraw the petition against the government on February 3 when it comes up for hearing in the apex court, it said.
Singh had moved the SC against the government for refusing to consider his date of birth as recorded in matriculation certificate as his official date of birth.
As per the compromise formula, the government will accept Gen Singh's claim that his date of birth is May 10, 1951, the report added.
The government has been maintaining that Gen Singh's date of birth was May 10, 1950 but the army chief has been claiming that it should be May 10, 1951.
The government on January 20 had ruled out any compromise with Gen Singh over his age issue.
