Summary: Eastern Coalfields Ltd. v. Dulal Chandra Pal (C.A. 5084/1999) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed Eastern Coalfields Ltd.'s appeal on November 28, 2001, setting aside the High Court Division Bench's order and restoring the Single Judge's dismissal of the respondent's writ petition. The Court found that Dulal Chandra Pal was guilty of laches and lack of clean hands—he had been informed in 1988 that his service records showed DOB as 1.10.1937 (not 24.1.1948 as he claimed), yet waited until 1995 to file his petition, thereby disentitling him to any relief regarding his superannuation date of 1.10.1997.
