Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to set aside the Labour Court's award was erroneous, as the termination of the appellant's services based on an incorrect date of birth was unjustified. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the principles of natural justice and the need for proper documentation in employment matters, referencing Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. The Court reinstated the Labour Court's award, directing the respondent to pay the appellant full salary and benefits until retirement.
