IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.23268 of 2011 Date of Decision : December 14, 2011. Bhupesh Goyal .....Petitioner versus Central Board of Secondary Education and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Ashish Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner has applied to the Central Board of Secondary Education, Punjab, for correction in the date of his birth from 13.8.1989 to 10.8.1989. The correction has been sought on the basis of the birth certificate (Annexure P-1) issued by the Chief Registrar (Births and Deaths), Punjab, Chandigarh. The petitioner's grievance is that despite repeated representations made by him, followed by a legal notice dated 11.11.2011 (Annexure P-4), necessary correction is not being made. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the material on record relied upon by the petitioner and also in the CWP No.23268 of 2011 [2] light of the fact that the petitioner is not likely to have any undue benefit due to change of his date of birth, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition at this stage with a direction to respondent Nos.1 to 3 to verify the facts, if so required to prove the genuineness of the birth certificate relied upon by the petitioner and thereafter carry out the necessary correction in the matriculation certificate of the petitioner. The needful shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. December 14, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
