| Decision |
The case revolves around Ayub Gul's petition to correct his date of birth on official documents. The court found that the plaintiff had been using the incorrect date of birth for an extended period during his service and did not raise any objections until he reached the age of superannuation. The court ruled that he was legally estopped from challenging the recorded date of birth, particularly as the matter fell under the jurisdiction of the Services Tribunal as per Article 212 of the Constitution. The court dismissed the revision petition, affirming the lower court's decisions. |
| Summary |
This case highlights the complexities surrounding the correction of personal details in official records, specifically in the context of employment and age of superannuation. Ayub Gul sought to amend his date of birth after decades of using an incorrect entry that led to his retirement. The court's decision emphasizes the importance of timely objections to recorded information, as well as the jurisdictional boundaries set by constitutional provisions regarding service matters. The ruling serves as a precedent for similar cases, indicating that individuals may be bound by records they have not contested for a significant amount of time, particularly when those records have legal implications on employment status and retirement age. This case is significant for civil servants and others in similar positions, underlining the necessity to ensure accuracy in personal records from the onset of one's career. Understanding the legal bindings and limitations imposed by administrative law is crucial for individuals navigating employment-related disputes. |
