date of birth mentioned in ADHAR CARD is conclusive?

date of birth mentioned in ADHAR CARD is conclusive?

The learned A.G.A. has submitted that the date of birth entered in an Aadhar Card has not been conferred any conclusive status by law and, therefore, it would be appropriate that this petition be disposed off by requiring the investigating agency to determine the age of the victim and record the statement of the victim and, thereafter, take appropriate action as per law.

6. Having perused the record. We do not find any other documentary evidence on the basis of which we could hold the victim to be an adult.  It is not provided by law that the date of birth entered in an Adhaar Card would be conclusive.
