Reg.Gen., High Court Of Madras vs M. Manickam & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the change of date of birth in service records under the Tamil Nadu State Judicial Service Rules, emphasizing that applications for such changes must be made within the stipulated five-year limitation period. The Court held that the High Court's decision to allow the change was erroneous as it disregarded this limitation, thus restoring the Subordinate Court's decree. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's orders dated 15.03.2007 and 21.07.2007 were set aside.
