Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing the Writ Petition of N. Sanyasi Rao, affirming his entitlement to have March 29, 1953, recorded as his date of birth in the service records. The Court noted that the decree from O.S. No. 61 of 1983, which declared his date of birth, was valid and should be considered despite the provisions of Rule 2-A of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Recording and Alteration of Date of Birth) Rules, 1984. The Court emphasized that the delay in addressing the Judicial Officer's representation constituted a violation of his rights, leading to the conclusion that the earlier resolution rejecting his request was unreasonable.
