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

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