Amreshwar Pratap Sahi, J.: - The petitioner is claiming correction of his date of birth on the basis of a horoscope. 2. There is no provision under law so as to raise a conclusive foregone presumption in favour of the petitioner in respect of the date of birth as indicated in the horoscope. For this the petitioner will have to lead evidence in a suit to be filed before the court of competent civil jurisdiction. The petitioner is educationally qualified and was working as a Collection Amin. He has passed his matriculation in1969 where his date of birth recorded is 31.1.50.The date of birth as reflected in the horoscope is 31.12.52. 3. In a similar situation, the Supreme Court in the case of State of M.P. Vs. Mohan Lal Sharma reported in 2002(7) SCC Page 719 has rejected such a contention founded on a horoscope as against a matriculation certificate. 4. This writ petition therefore cannot be entertained. 5. It is accordingly dismissed.
