| Decision |
The appeals regarding the age of superannuation were collectively dismissed. The court found that the age of superannuation for the respondents was 60 years as per the rules established and that the birth entry provided had greater evidentiary value compared to other documents. The court emphasized the importance of the birth record over the medical certificate and school leaving certificate. It was concluded that the retirement age was not 55 years as contended by the appellant, thus upholding the lower court's decision. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the age of superannuation for employees of the Punjab Road Transport Board. The key issue was whether the retirement age was 60 years or 55 years. The respondents challenged their retirement at the age of 55, asserting it should be 60 based on their birth records. The Labour Appellate Tribunal determined that the birth entry recorded at the time of birth was more authoritative than other documents provided. The decision underscores the significance of accurate record-keeping in employment and the legal frameworks governing retirement age. This case is pertinent for discussions on labor rights, employee benefits, and the adherence to established regulations regarding retirement. Keywords such as 'age of superannuation', 'labor rights', and 'Punjab Road Transport Board' are essential for understanding the legal implications of this ruling. The ruling reinforces the need for clarity in employment policies and the importance of maintaining accurate personal records within the workforce. |
