DECISION ' Heard Mr. Naziruddin Qazi for the appellant K.D.A.

' The only point in this case is regarding the date of superannuation of the respondent who was working as a tracer in the K.D.A. At the time of entry in service his date of birth mentioned in the service book was 24-3-1934. This entry was followed by the K.D.A. And he continued to work as tracer uptil 23-3-1994. Thereafter, the K.D.A. Suspected that his real date of birth which according to them was 16-10-1930 had been altered to 24-3-1934 but the burden now shifts upon the K.D.A. To prove that the original date of 16-10-1930 in the Service Book had been altered unnoticed to 24-3- 1934. The respondent continued to remain in service beyond 60 years according to the altered date. The contention of the K.D.A. Is that his service beyond 1990 should be treated as re- employment. The learned Advocate has not been able to produce any contract of service or order of re-employment after retirement of the respondent.

2. The learned counsel for the appellant also admits that no proof of age has been produced in the Labour Court or in the Service Book which is alleged to have been altered. Under the circumstances further alteration in the date of birth of the respondent is not possible in the absence of any other proof. This appeal is therefore dismissed in limine. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
