C.W.P. No.17288 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.M. Nos.3125,3126 of 2011 in/and C.W.P. No.17288 of 2008 (O&M) DATE OF DECISION : 18.3.2011 Ms.Meenakshi Rani PETITIONER VERSUS Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra & another RESPONDENTS CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Shri Sudhir Mittal, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri Ramesh Hooda, Advocate for the respondent-1. MAHESH GROVER, J. C.M.3125,3126 of 2011 On due consideration of the applications, I am of the opinion that the same need to be accepted. Ordered accordingly. Main Case The challenge is to the cancellation of admission which had been done on account of the wrong date of birth having been recorded as 15.8.1992, which fell short of the minimum age limit prescribed. The Education Board has since rectified the same and issued a certificate of correct date of birth to the petitioner, according to which she comes within the eligibility criteria. This fact C.W.P. No.17288 of 2008 -2- was not noticed in the order dated 1.2.2011. Consequently, the order dated 1.2.2011 is recalled and instead of the writ petition is disposed of as having become infructuous, the same is disposed of on account of the fact that the certificate showing correct date of birth has since been issued and since the impediment of the age has been removed and the petitioner having fallen within the prescribed eligibility criteria, the admission which was cancelled by the respondents, is held to be a totally erroneous action. It is thus, held that the admission of the petitioner could not have been cancelled and because of the corrected date of birth, the cancellation is set aside and the petitioner is held deemed to be validly admitted to the course.
