STATE OF HARYANA vs SATISH KUMAR MITTAL

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower courts, affirming that the rejection of the first respondent's request to correct his date of birth was illegal. The Court noted that the Finance Department's Notification dated 13.8.2001, which barred corrections after two years of service, could not be applied retrospectively. The Court held that the suit was within the limitation period and granted a decree declaring the first respondent's correct date of birth as 25.11.1962, thus dismissing the appeal.
