Dated this the 17th day of January 2008
JUDGMENT
Ext.P4 is an application filed by the petitioner seeking to
correct his date of birth in Ext.P2 certificate issued by the third
respondent. The request made in this behalf was turned down by
Ext.P5 as per Rule 69.2(1) of the Examination Byelaws of 1995
of the first respondent. It is stated that the date of birth of the
candidate has been printed in Ext.P2 in accordance with the
school records.
2. As can be seen from Ext.P4, the request made by the
petitioner is to the Principal and that too for correction of the
school records which has been erroneously mentioned.
Necessarily, therefore, correction has to be initially recorded in
the school records and that is to be done by the 5th respondent.
Once such correction is made, it is for the Principal to forward the
corrected details of the petitioner to the 4th respondent and once
that is done, it is for the 4th respondent to consider the request
of the petitioner.
3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that
W.P.(c)824/2008 2
acting upon Ext.P4, the 5th respondent shall carry out necessary
correction in the school records and based on the corrected
records, necessary consequential correction will be incorporated
in Ext.P2. This shall be done by the 4th respondent within 8
weeks of receipt of the corrected records from the 5th
respondent.
ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE
