Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the Lokayukta regarding the respondent's date of birth, affirming that the correct date is November 30, 1936, as originally recorded in the service book. The Court found that the respondent had fraudulently attempted to alter his date of birth to June 28, 1938, by manipulating documents and records. The Court emphasized the importance of maintaining accurate records in government service and held that the respondent's actions constituted misconduct, leading to the dismissal of his appeal.
