Rule 38(2)(f) Maharashtra Civil Services Rules | Birth Certificate Must Pre-Exist Service Entry to Qualify for Correction : Bombay HC

Bombay HC rules that correction of date of birth in service records under Rule 38(2)(f) requires proof that the birth certificate predates service entry, not merely a clerical error claim. The judgment mandates documentary evidence of the error's origin, impacting all Maharashtra government employees seeking retrospective corrections.
