The Bombay High Court has refused to allow a policeman to correct his birth date in the service records on the ground that he was seeking a change at the fag end of his career and not within the five years of his joining service as per rules.

A bench of Chief Justice D H Waghela and Justice V K Tahilramani, hearing a plea of Devendra Shinde, noted, "the judgement of the Supreme Court has been quoted extensively (by this court) to emphasise that facts in the present case are strikingly similar and that the petitioner cannot be allowed to change his date of birth at the fag end of his career".
