How a horoscope notebook and PIN Code exposed a Tamil Nadu judge’s false claim at Supreme Court
In 1993, Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate M. Manickam submitted a representation to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kanniyakumari, seeking to change his date of birth from March 19, 1947 to November 24, 1950.
In November 1988, M. Manickam began his tenure with the Tamil Nadu State Subordinate Judicial Services as a Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate. However, in October 1993, he submitted a representation to the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Kanniyakumari, attempting to alter his birthdate. According to Manickam, his SSLC record indicated a birthdate of March 19, 1947, but he claimed he was actually born on November 24, 1950. If his claim were to be accepted, it would extend his service period by nearly four years.
