Otherwise, his candidature would have been rejected on ground of shortage of age, the bench had pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioner filed the present review application challenging the bench&#8217;s order nearly after nine years.<\/p>\n<p>Dismissing it too, Justice Venugopal, who wrote the order for the bench, said &#8220;such a prayer at the fag end of a person&#8217;s career is per se not to be entertained, as the same might affect the promotions of others, who are yearning for years below him and it would cause undoubtedly an irreparable injury and hardship to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Moreover, the power of review is not to be confused with an appellate one. If the applicant is aggrieved by the finding of the court, the remedy is not review,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>Under the guise of review, the court would not re-hear the parties on point of law afresh, the bench said and dismissed the plea.<\/p>\n<p>Source :PTI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A plea seeking alteration of the date of birth in records by an employee at the fag end of career should not be entertained, the Madras High Court has said while dismissing a review application. &#8220;If an employee seeks an alteration of his date of birth on the eve of his retirement, then a court [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49242,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[40077,40076,40078,31987,40079,4010],"class_list":["post-49241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-alteration-of-birth-date","tag-alteration-of-birth-date-in-records","tag-birth-date","tag-featured","tag-justice-venugopal","tag-madras-high-court"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Alteration of birth date in records at fag end of career - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A plea seeking alteration of the date of birth in records by an employee at the fag end of career should not be entertained, the Madras High Court has - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
