Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition seeking to change her date of birth from 26.1.1971 to 9.1.1972, citing Article 283 of the Constitution and the Punjab Financial Volume I (Haryana First Amendment) Rules, 2001. The Court found that the High Court's reasoning, which emphasized the principle of estoppel and the discretionary nature of the notification regarding age correction, was valid. The Court concluded that the appellant failed to demonstrate that she had not taken advantage of the recorded date of birth, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
