It said all documents "at threshold" when Gen Singh joined IMA, NDA recorded his date of birth as May 10, 1950. "The documents at the threshold when you wanted to join IMA, NDA contains the date of birth as May 10, 1950.

"In all documents at the threshold you date of birth is recorded as May 10, 1950," it noted. The court also said that the primary record for Gen Singh's date of birth was with UPSC which never corrected it. "If they (UPSC) don't do what do you do," the bench of R M Lodha and H L Gokhale asked senior advocate U U Lalit who is appearing for Gen Singh.
