Agra Electric Supply Co. Ltd vs Sri Alladin & Ors on 12 August, 1969
In the case of Agra Electric Supply
Co. Ltd. Vs. Sri Alladin & Ors.- AIR 1970 SC 512 the Hon'ble
Supreme Court has held that Standing Orders formulated under the
Industrial Employment Standing Orders once they come into force
are binding on all the employees working in the establishment. That
being the position and as the Standing Order in question clearly
contemplates that if a Matriculation Certificate, a School Leaving
Certificate or a Horoscope is available, the date of birth has to be
entered based on the said certificate. We see no error in the order
passed by the Writ Court warranting reconsideration. The Writ Court
has decided the issue correctly in accordance to the requirement of
the Standing Order which is nothing but a statutory regulation having
the force of law and, therefore, the appellant's prayer for recording
the date of birth as per the Medical Board's recommendation cannot
