Petitioner states that he was a student in the
second respondent’s school, which is affiliated to the first
respondent. According to him, in the school records, his Date
of Birth has been recorded as 30-05-1988 instead of 22-11-
1987. He made application for correction of the Date of Birth.
But, the same was rejected by the first respondent as per
Ext.P3, stating that request for correction will be entertained if
it is made only within a period of one year of passing the ICSE
examination. It is aggrieved by Ext.P3, this writ petition is
filed.
2. I heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for
the first respondent also.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner has brought
to my notice the judgment of this Court in W.P.(C)
No.20704/2010, which was following the judgment in
W.P.(C) No.33965/10
: 2 :
W.A.No.1948/2010, directing correction of the Date of Birth, in
relation to a student who also had passed out from a school
affiliated to the first respondent.
4. Since the facts of this case are similar to the one
dealt with in the aforesaid judgment, this writ petition is
disposed of, quashing Ext.P3 and directing the first
respondent to pass orders on the request made by the
petitioner afresh, on merits, as expeditiously as possible, at
any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of
production of a copy of this judgment.
