The court affirmed that applications for correction of date of birth must be made within two years of service entry, and delays undermine service integrity and affect junior employees' promotions.
Changes to recorded dates of birth in service records cannot be claimed as a matter of right and must comply with established regulations, particularly after a significant delay.
Requests for correction of date of birth in service records made at the end of service are not sustainable unless made within prescribed time limits and with clear evidence of error.
