"The age of a person as recorded in the school
register or otherwise may be used for various
purposes, namely, for obtaining admission; for
obtaining an appointment; for contesting election;
registration of marriage; obtaining a separate unit
under the ceiling laws; and even for the purpose of
litigating before a civil forum e.g. necessity of being
represented in a court of law by a guardian or where
a suit is filed on the ground that the plaintiff being a
minor he was not appropriately represented therein or
any transaction made on his behalf was void as he
was a minor. A court of law for the purpose of
determining the age of a (2006) 5 SCC 584 party to
the lis, having regard to the provisions of Section 35
of the Evidence Act will have to apply the same
standard. No different standard can be applied in
case of an accused as in a case of abduction or rape,
or similar offence where the victim or the prosecutrix
although might have consented with the accused, if
on the basis of the entries made in the register
maintained by the school, a judgment of conviction is
recorded, the accused would be deprived of his
constitutional right under Article 21 of the
Constitution, as in that case the accused may unjustly
be convicted."
