MOHD YUNUS KHAN vs U.P.POWER CORPORATION LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of incorrect recording of the appellant's date of birth in his service book, which was recorded as 27th February 1934 instead of the correct date, 1st July 1948, as per his school leaving certificate. The Court held that the erroneous recording led to the premature retirement of the appellant, violating his rights under Article 21 of the Constitution.
