“If a petition has been filed…it is between the person and the court,” Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said in response to questions at a briefing here.

Singh Monday moved the apex court amid the blazing row over his year of birth. Singh, slated to retire May 31 this year, claims that he would retire on May 31, 2013, had the government not changed the year of his birth from 1951 to 1950.
