ALEXANDER THOMAS, SC, THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/03/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ----------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 9677 OF 2008 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of March, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that after completing the course in Nursing from an institution at Bangalore, he had got himself registered with the 2nd respondent. It is submitted that his actual date of birth is 12.07.1985, but, however, there was a mistake in his S.S.L.C book and that the said mistake was corrected as per Ext.P3 order and the date of birth entered into the SSLC book was corrected as 12.07.1985. It was in the meantime that the petitioner obtained his registration from the 2nd respondent as per Ext.P5. 2. On the strength of the correction of mistake as per Exts.P3 and P4, petitioner made various representations for carrying out the correction in the records of the 2nd respondent. But, however, the request has not been considered so far. It is submitted that in identical cases correction has been ordered by this Court and Ext.P7 judgment is relied on by the petitioner in this behalf. 3. I have gone though the judgment and I am satisfied that WPC No. 9677 OF 2008 2 the case decided by this Court is identical in all respects and the petitioner is also entitled to the relief granted to the petitioners in those cases. 4. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 2nd respondent shall correct the date of birth in the register as well as in the registration certificate of the petitioner in tune with Exts.P3 and P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of 4 weeks of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
