Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr.Dhananjay Kumar For the Union of India : Mr.Saradha Suman ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJIT KUMAR ORAL ORDER 2 16-03-2026 In the instant petition, petitioner has prayed for the following relief(s):- “(a) For a direction upon the Respondent Authorities to make correction against Date of Birth, which should be "24.07.2007" to his AADHAR card bearing AADHAR number 810474891752 in accordance with matriculation certificate. (b) To pass such other order(s), direction(s) as your Lordships may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.” 2. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the correct date of birth of the petitioner is 24.07.2007, but in the Aadhar Patna High Court CWJC No.2736 of 2026(2) dt.16-03-2026 2/3 database, it has been wrongly recorded as 24.07.2008, and the petitioner is said to have made an application before the authorities, but for reasons unexplained, the same has not been considered. 3. On the other hand, counsel for the Union of India submits that the petitioner with representation may appear before the Director, UIDAI Regional Office, 4th Floor, Lalit Bhawan, Bailey Road, Patna, on any working day, and the necessary correction in the Aadhar database shall be made by looking to the statutory documents, which are required for necessary corrections. 4. It is a very sorry state of affairs, which this Court has witnessed today, that in so many cases, for correction of date of birth, the applicants are forced to knock the doors of this Court. It is expected that the Director, UIDAI Regional Office, Patna, would issue appropriate instruction to the persons who are dealing with such issues, so that this Court is unnecessary not burdened with such petitions where, for correction of date of birth, the statutory requirement of documents are already being fulfilled and the persons who are at the helm of affairs are to carry out the formalities, and accordingly, the necessary corrections are required to be made in the Aadhar database, Patna High Court CWJC No.2736 of 2026(2) dt.16-03-2026 3/3 which somewhere is not being addressed properly. 5. Considering the nature of relief sought, this Court finds it appropriate to direct this petitioner to approach the Director, UIDAI Regional Office, Patna, within a period of one week, and on his appearance it is expected that necessary corrections shall be made looking to the nature of the document, which is required for making such corrections. 6. With the above observations, the instant writ petition stands disposed of. abhishekkr/- (Ajit Kumar, J) U
