Cidco vs Vasudha Gorakhnath Mandevlekar

The Supreme Court addressed the dispute regarding the respondent's date of birth, which was claimed to be 2.10.1950 based on a birth certificate issued by the Panvel Nagar Parishad. The Court held that the birth certificate, along with other documents from the appellant corporation consistently showing the date as 2.10.1950, constituted sufficient proof of the respondent's date of birth. The Court overturned the appellant's decision that had erroneously recorded the date as 2.10.1948, emphasizing the importance of documentary evidence in establishing identity and age in service matters under Article 21 of the Constitution.
