Summary: Background:The appellant, Chief Secretary, Government of Balochistan, challenged the judgment of the Balochistan Service Tribunal, which set aside a notification and letter regarding the retirement date of the respondent, Asmatullah Kakar.The respondent claimed that his correct date of birth was 25.12.1961, contrary to the date recorded in his service records as 08.01.1959.----Issues:Whether the Balochistan Service Tribunal erred in setting aside the notification and letter regarding the respondent's retirement date?Whether the respondent's request for correction of his date of birth was legally justified?----Holding/Reasoning/Outcome:The Supreme Court found in favor of the appellant.The Court observed that the respondent's date of birth was recorded as 08.01.1959 in his service records and remained unchallenged for many years.Despite obtaining a court decree in 1989 for correction of his date of birth, the respondent did not pursue the matter further until his retirement was imminent.The Court held that the Balochistan Service Tribunal overlooked relevant service rules and legal precedents in allowing the respondent's appeal.It emphasized that the date of birth recorded at the time of joining government service cannot be changed except in specific circumstances, which were not applicable in this case.The Court set aside the judgment of the Balochistan Service Tribunal, declaring it unsustainable.----Citations/Precedents:Balochistan Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 2009Balochistan Government Initial Appointment to the Civil Service post (age and relaxation of upper age limit) Rules, 2012Civil Servants (Appointments, Promotions and Transfers) Rules, 1973Qamaruddin v.
