G. M. TALANG AND OTHERS vs SHAW WALLACE AND CO. AND ANR

The Supreme Court held that the Industrial Tribunal's conclusion to set the retirement age at 58 was unsound, as it failed to recognize the established trend in the Bombay region to fix the retirement age at 60. The Court emphasized that any revision of judicial opinion must be supported by strong and unambiguous evidence. The Tribunal's approach was criticized for not adhering to the previous findings of the Supreme Court, which confirmed the trend of a retirement age of 60 for clerical and subordinate staff. The appeal was allowed, reaffirming the earlier decision regarding the retirement age.
