Cement Corpn. Of India Ltd. vs Raghbir Singh And Anr.

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's finding that the respondent's date of birth is 2-2-1936, thus entitling him to retirement on 1-2-1994 instead of 30-6-1990. However, the Court ruled that the Labour Court erred in granting backwages for the entire period from retirement to the new retirement date, stating that backwages should only be awarded from the date of filing the petition, specifically from 1-2-1992 to 30-1-1994, and denied interest on the backwages. The appeal was partly allowed, modifying the Labour Court's order regarding backwages and interest.
