SHEO NANDAN SINGH vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding the retirement age of the appellant, who claimed his date of birth was January 22, 1936, contrary to the official record stating January 22, 1926. The Court held that due to the absence of authentic records and the manipulation allegations, the appellant could not be granted relief to continue in service beyond the superannuation age of 58 years as per the Railway service rules. The dismissal of the earlier application by the Tribunal was upheld, affirming the decision on grounds of lack of evidence.
