LAKSHMIBAI NAT.INST.OF PHY.EDU. vs SHANT KUMAR AGRAWAL

The Supreme Court ruled that the respondent could not rely on a trial court's judgment to change his date of birth for service continuation after it was reversed by a higher court. The Court emphasized that the respondent's initial claim was barred by limitation under relevant provisions, and the subsequent reliance on the trial court's decree was improper. The Court upheld the decision of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, affirming that the respondent's date of birth remains as recorded in the official certificate, thus denying his appeal for service continuation beyond superannuation age.
