    The Allahabad High Court granted Vimal Singh's petition for admission to Class VI at PM Shri School Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Banda, holding that a government-issued birth certificate (dated 01.07.2013) presumed valid under statutory law cannot be arbitrarily rejected based on medical ossification tests, which have accuracy margins of ±2 years. The court directed the school to admit the petitioner for 2026-27 and instructed all Navodaya Vidyalayas to prioritize statutory documents (matriculation certificates, school records, and birth certificates) over medical opinions for age verification.
