U.P. Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad & Ors vs Raj Kumar Agnihotri

The Supreme Court held that under Article 309 of the Constitution of India, the date of birth of a government servant as recorded in the High School Certificate or service book is conclusive for all service-related matters. The Court found that the respondent's attempt to change his date of birth after 35 years was not supported by sufficient evidence, as he had himself filled out the examination form with the disputed date. Consequently, the Court upheld the decision of the lower courts to deny the correction of the date of birth, affirming the principle that a government servant is bound by the entries made in official records.
