1. ' IFTIKHAR MUHAMMAD CHAUDHRY, C.J.---It is an admitted fact that in matriculation certificate.
2. Petitioner M. Arshad has, shown his date of birth to be 11th December, 1980. Learned counsel stated that in birth certificate and identity card his date of birth is mentioned to be 25th November, 1976.
3. Therefore, in view of the judgment in the case of Waqas Akram 2003 SCM R 145 the date as mentioned in birth certificate is to be accepted. It may be noted that the authority relied upon by the learned counsel is distinguishable and is not applicable to the facts of instant case. Further it is fact that when the petitioner filed his Admission Form for his appearance in matriculation examination of Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Karachi, he himself has mentioned 11th December, 1980 as his date of birth. Therefore, the date of birth shown in the birth certificate and identity card as 25-11-1976 has no relevance because he has never applied for its correction at any stage to the Board Authorities. As such, we are of the opinion that the impugned judgment being unexceptionable admits no interference, as such, the petition is dismissed and leave to appeal is declined.
