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.

The chief has wasted allot of effort over this. I hope the next chief has less of an ego and can focus on the job at hand. the army has so much catching up to do, this was not needed.

the problem is that the next chief is a govt puppet...that is why the govt is going out of its way to somehow make him the coas...this chief was one of the best we had....speaking up for the army and army first without a damn to political machinations....

Govt is at the end ..only when it is within the constitution....Constitution is the end.....all teh valid legal documents of the chief say he was born in 51...but the govt maintains it is 50 based on some verbal understanding....so in court the govt's case will not stand...

Chief is govt's dog, not puppet. Thats how it is, and thats how it will be in India.
He is allowed to speak up for the army, but behind closed doors.

Wrong.Army law stipulates any clarification on age must be documented within two years of joining the service.The General would've had his behind kicked out of court even before the hearing began.
 
The report also says government will accept his age as 1951, which means he is no retiring.

Is age paramount and even if an officer is fulfilling his obligations or is an exceptional talent - im not knowledgeable about this but does he HAVE to retire at a specific age?

Yes he has to, because there is a succession plan and others need to be given chance.
I am not sure he has any exception talent, even if he had, he should retire.

wrong....considering that no one knew how this age got changed to 50 in the ms's records..two year rule applies only if he had made that mistake...

also the final say in the age issue if ANY military service man is the adjutant general's office and they have made it very clear tat the dob is '51...also the sslc certificate is the most valid form of dob proof and it says '51...even the military seceratary's office had acknowledged tat it was '51 that was taken into consideration for all of gen's promotions....they also had written to the defence ministry acknowledging the same...but mysteriously the def min did not act on it...in this issue all buck stops at the door of anthony...he was just acting like a tool with no independent thinking and common sense.

wrong...both are the servants of the constitution....and the military has specific rules to obey the chain of command only if the command is within the constitution...not extra-constitutional..

and he as the coas is responsible for the lives of the jawans working under him...if a govt order violates that, puts his soldier''s lives in jeopardy, hampers their operational ability and may cause law and order problem then he is well within his rights to speak out, publicly.

he is sworn to protect the borders of india...not obey to the whims and fancies of baboons sitting in the defence ministry..especially when they are not legal...
