A.Somasundaram vs The Secretary To Government on 20 February, 2017
13. Further, in the unreported Division Bench Judgement of this Court in SUNDARAMURTHY v. THE CHIEF SECRETARY [W.P.No.24989 of 2015 dated 13.08.2015], the Division Bench has elaborately dealt with all these aspects relating to the alteration of date of birth and the line of cases decided by the Hon'ble Apex Court in this regard and it has been held time and again that the application for correction of date of birth is also to be looked into from the point of view of the concerned Department and the employees engaged therein. The other employees have expectations of promotion based on seniority and suddenly, if such change is permitted; it causes prejudice and disturbance in the working of the Department. It is, therefore, quite correct for the State to insist that such Applicationx must be made within the time provided in the rules, say, as five years, as in the present case.
