Today morning I actually choked on my morning cuppa reading it. Of all the bungled attempts at fakery, this must take the cake.
It appears that a trial court judge (from my home state of Tamil Nadu) has been arguing that his date of birth should be recognized on the basis of the ‘horoscopes’ entered by his father in the ‘family’ book, supposedly at the time of birth and not the one entered in his service records - so he could ‘serve’ for a few more years.
The matter has ended up in the Supreme court and the Judges noticed that the ‘family’ notebook, in which the plaintiff’s father is supposed to have entered the horoscopes of plaintiff and his siblings, contained the address of the printer/maker of the notebook.
Wonder if it will find a place in 10 Terribly Bungled Crimes [http://people.howstuffworks.com/ten-bungled-crimes11.htm].

- No problems till now - except that the printed address also contained the PINCODE;
- No problems even then - except that the trial judge and his siblings were born between 1939 and 1953;
- No problem with that - except that the PINCODE in India was introduced only in 1972.
