THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/12/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P (C) No.37503 of 2010 -------------------------- Dated this the 17th December, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was a student of the school of which 3rd respondent is the Principal. According to him, his date of birth is 13.9.1993. But it was wrongly mentioned in the school records as 20.5.1994. He made an application for its correction which was forwarded by the 3rd respondent to the 1st respondent. First respondent returned the application by Ext.P4 stating that the correction cannot be entertained, as the same can be considered only consistent with the entries in the school records. On receipt of Ext.P4 from the school, this writ petition is filed. 2. A reading of Ext.P4 shows that the school has not made correction in their records. Therefore, necessarily, what is required is that, the application made by the petitioner should be considered by the 3rd respondent and depending upon the decision taken and recommendation made by the 3rd respondent, first respondent shall reconsider Ext.P4. 3. Therefore, I direct that it will be open to the W.P (C) No.37503 of 2010 2 petitioner to produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 3rd respondent who shall consider the request of the petitioner and pass orders on the request for correction of the date of birth of the petitioner. Depending upon the orders passed and recommendation made by the 3rd respondent, 2nd respondent will pass appropriate orders on the request made by the petitioner. This the 2nd respondent shall do, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ma /True copy/ P.A to Judge
