ISHWARLAL MOHANLAL THAKKAR vs PASCHIM GUJARAT VIJ COMPANY LTD.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order quashing the Labour Court's award regarding the appellant's date of birth was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the appellant had provided sufficient proof of his date of birth through a birth certificate issued by the Bhavnagar Municipal Corporation, which should have been accepted by the employer. The Court reinstated the Labour Court's decision, affirming the appellant's right to have his date of birth corrected in the service records under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
