Requests Made By Govt Employees To Change Birthdate In Service Records Beyond Reasonable Time Should Not Be Entertained: Bombay High Court

Live Law  

The Bombay High Court recently while refusing to grant any relief to a Pune-based Police Inspector said any request from a public servant to change in date of birth in service records, beyond reasonable time, should not be permitted. A division bench of Justices Atul Chandurkar and Milind Sathaye said that in such cases, mostly government employees seek such changes only after spending 'considerable time' in service or when they near retirement. If a government employee seeks change of date of birth to mean that he was born on a later date, compared to the date of birth recorded in his service book, it means that on the date of his appointment he was not of a particular age and was younger than what he claimed at the time of entry in service," the judges observed in the order passed on January 22. "In our opinion, such situations must be avoided and therefore requests for change in date of birth beyond reasonable time should not be permitted.
