                   (B) Any other relief deemed fit to meet the ends of justice
                   may be granted.”


 3.        As can be seen from the prayers made by the petitioner
 in this petition, the application dated 26.12.2005 made by
 him to Respondent Nos. 1 and 2 has remained undecided
 for almost 20 years and therefore, Respondent Nos. 1 and 2
 are directed to decide the application dated 26.12.2005 at
 the earliest, but, in any case not later than 20th February,
 2026, in accordance with law, by passing a reasoned order.


 3.1       With the aforesaid directions and observations, this
 petition stands disposed of. It is clarified that this Court
 has not opined anything about the correctness of the date of
 birth of the petitioner. No order as to costs.


                                                                               (NIRZAR S. DESAI,J)
