Eastern Coalfileds Ltd.& Ors vs Bajrangi Rabidas

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Calcutta High Court's decision which overturned the single judge's approval of the General Manager's rejection of the respondent's request to change his date of birth from 2.4.1946 to 2.4.1948. The Court emphasized the importance of the documents signed by the respondent, including the Form 'B' Register, which consistently recorded the earlier date. The Court upheld the decision of the General Manager, affirming that the principles of natural justice were followed and that the respondent's claim lacked sufficient evidence to warrant a change in the official records.
