Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of incorrect recording of the appellant's date of birth in his service book, which led to his premature retirement. The Court emphasized that the erroneous entry, resulting from administrative oversight, violated the principles of natural justice and the right to fair treatment in employment under Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court held that the appellant's date of birth should be corrected to 1st July 1948, thereby reinstating him and allowing him to continue in service until the appropriate retirement age.
