G.M.,BHARAT COKING COAL LTD.,W.BENGAL vs SHIB KUMAR DUSHAD

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the correct date of birth of the respondent, who was employed by Bharat Coking Coal Ltd. The Court held that the date of birth recorded in the Form-'B' register under the Mines Act, 1952, which was 1932, was valid and should prevail over the later claim of 9.2.1946 based on certificates. The Court emphasized that the employer's decision, based on the Medical Board's assessment, was justified and upheld the order of the appellant regarding the respondent's superannuation date.
