Authority: High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan, Bench at Jaipur
Order Date: 30 June 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: Roopnarayan Meena, son of Shri Bhanwar Lal Meena, aged about 58 years, residing at Plot No. 8A, Shankar Vihar Vistar Charan Nadi 2, Murlipura, Jaipur, Rajasthan, 302393.
- Respondents: Rajasthan State Ganganagar Sugar Mills Ltd., represented by its Director‑In‑Charge, General Manager, two Deputy General Managers (Administration and Personnel), and Financial Advisor, all having head office at 3rd Floor, Centre of Excellence for Revenue Research and Analytics Facilitation, Jhalana Doongari, Jaipur, Rajasthan, 302004.
- The writ petition (S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 7305/2026) sought correction of the date of birth recorded in the petitioner’s service record from 05‑06‑1966 to 05‑06‑1967, alleging that the documents submitted at the time of appointment (School Certificate and Date of Birth Certificate) reflected 05‑06‑1967.
- Counsel for the petitioner argued that the erroneous recording would cause the petitioner to be retired on 30‑06‑2026.
- The Court directed the respondents to produce the original service record for perusal.
- The original service record, produced by the respondent department, showed that the date of birth filled in by the petitioner himself was 05‑06‑1966. The original Transfer Certificate also displayed a clear manipulation of the date of birth and the corresponding age column, which the Court described as “crystal clear fabrication”.
Final Outcome
- Observing the evident manipulation/fabrication, the Court was not inclined to entertain the writ petition and consequently dismissed it.
