Punjab &Haryana; High Court At ... vs Megh Raj Garg & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the decision of the Syndicate of Panjab University to amend the date of birth in the matriculation certificate was not binding on the State Government or the High Court, as per the Punjab Civil Service Rules. The Court established that an application for correction of date of birth after a significant delay (twelve years) is not maintainable, affirming the rejection of respondent No.1's request. Consequently, the appeal by the State Government was allowed, and the trial court's decree was set aside.
