Service Law - Supreme Court set aside Jharkhand High Court Division Bench’s order and restored the Single Judge’s decision, refusing to allow a change in the workman’s date of birth after 25 years of service. The Court found that the request for correction, based on a school certificate issued decades after joining, was unjustified, especially given the workman’s own declaration and family details at the time of employment.
