U.P. MADHYAMIK SHIKSHA PARISHAD vs RAJ KUMAR AGNIHOTRI

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of correction of date of birth under Article 309 of the Constitution of India, specifically in the context of service rules. The Court held that the notification dated 28.05.1974, which mandates that the date of birth recorded in the High School Certificate or service book is final, is binding. The Court found that the respondent's delay of 35 years in seeking correction of his date of birth was unreasonable, leading to the dismissal of his appeal against the High Court's decision that upheld the service rules.
