    Case Summary: CWP/471/2024 – Raj Kumari v. Principal Secretary, Education Decision: The High Court of Himachal Pradesh dismissed the petition. Raj Kumari, a school employee, sought to correct her recorded date of birth from 20.12.1965 to 01.07.1967 and challenge her superannuation. The court rejected her plea because she failed to apply for correction within two years of joining service (as required by Rule 7.1 of HPFR Volume-I, 1971) and only approached authorities on 28.11.2023, just before her retirement at age 58. The court held that employees cannot challenge their date of birth at the end of their service career and found no infirmity in the Department's rejection order. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
