The right to seek actual date of birth has to be exercised within
three years of attaining the majority on the basis of the birth
certificate issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths. But, after
expiry of period of three years from the cessation of disability, no
person can rely upon the birth certificate. He is bound by the date
given in the matriculation certificate. Therefore, in any case, the right
of a person to seek actual date of birth on the basis of entry in the
birth certificate by the Registrar of Births and Deaths is three years
after attaining the majority on the basis of date of birth in the said
certificate.
