IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.14492 of 2010 Renu Devi Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors 2/ 09/08/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, for the Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University and the State. The petitioner is stated to have passed the Madhyama examination conducted by the University in the year-1980 as a student of the Sanatan Brahmachary Sanskrit High School, Gangati at Muzaffarpur. Her contention is that at the time of admission in the school she had furnished her date of birth as 15.5.1964, but in the final certificate issued by the University of having passed the examination her date of birth is mentioned as 15.11.1964. Her School Leaving Certificate dated 11.7.1988 rightly mentions her date of birth as 15.5.1964. She took subsequent admission for higher studies on basis of that date of birth. Her request for correction of the date of birth in the original certificate having evoked no response she has filed this writ application. Learned counsel for the University rightly submits that the matter being old, it required an enquiry into facts inter alia with regard to the date of birth mentioned in the school records, that was issued 2 by the School/University when she appeared at the examination conducted by the University, apart from other materials furnished to the University by the school at that point of time. Keeping in mind that the matter appears to be old, and that it involves a difference of approximately six months in her date of birth, let the University appropriately consider matters and after examination of records pass a reasoned and speaking order with regard to the date of birth of the petitioner. Dependent on the same, if required, a fresh certificate is also consequently expected to be issued by the university. Let the entire exercise be concluded within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
