State Of Haryana vs Satish Kumar Mittal & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions, affirming that the rejection of the first respondent's request to correct his date of birth was illegal and void. The Court found that the retrospective application of the Finance Department's Notification dated 13.8.2001 was impermissible, and the suit was filed within the limitation period despite the delay in serving notice under Section 80 CPC. The Court ruled that the correct date of birth of the first respondent is 25.11.1962, thereby confirming the decree in his favor.
