Age row: Govt withdraws Dec 30 order

The Government on Friday told the Supreme Court that it has withdrawn its order issued on December 30, 2011 rejecting Army chief General VK Singh's statutory complaint on his age row, urging the government to consider his date of birth as May 10, 1951 instead of May 10, 1950. The government's decision to rescind the order came against the backdrop of the Apex Court stating that its December 30 order was vitiated and would be quashed if this was not done.
