Case Significance
The General Manager, M/S Barsua Iron Ore ... vs The Vice President United Min... is a Supreme Court of India decision dated April 2, 2024 (citation: insc-2024-264). A SAIL mine worker initially declared his birth year as 1948 at appointment but later sought correction to 1955, which would have meant he was under-age when hired. The Supreme Court allowed the employer's appeal, holding the worker could not be permitted the much-delayed date of birth correction made at the fag-end of service, as it would invalidate his original appointment and constitute acquiescence. CGIT award of back wages set aside. The bench comprised Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Hima Kohli. The judgment was delivered by Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah. Counsel appearing: Deepanwita Priyanka (counsel for respondent), Ranjit Kumar (counsel for appellant).
