Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the State is not precluded from refixing an employee's date of birth in the service register if sufficient reasons exist for such an enquiry, as established in State of Orissa v. Dr. (Miss) Binapani Del. However, the Court found that the Government unjustly deprived the appellant of the benefits outlined in its memorandum dated August 14, 1958, which mandated an extension of service equal to half the difference between the original and revised dates. The Court partly allowed the appeal, emphasizing the grave injustice caused to the appellant by the Government's actions.
