IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No. 4247 of 2009 Decided on 10.5.2010. ________________________________________________________ Mamta Devi …Petitioner Versus H.P. Board of School Education …Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice R.B. Misra, Judge. For the Petitioner: Mr. Ramakant Sharma, Advocate. For the respondent : Mr. G.D. Sharma, Advocate. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The writ petition is filed with the following prayers:- (i) That the Memo dated 7.9.2009 at Annexure P- 11 issued by the respondent Board whereby the correction of the name of the father of the petitioner in her certificates of examinations, has been refused, may very kindly be quashed and set aside and the respondent may further be directed to make the necessary correction in the name of the father of the petitioner shown in the certificates of examinations i.e. 5th , 8th Matriculation and 10+1 classes at Annexure P- 2, Annexure P-3, Annexure P-4 and Annexure P-5. (ii) That the respondent may very kindly be directed to correct the name of the father of the petitioner in her certificates of examinations i.e. 5th , 8th, Matriculation and 10+1 classes and in the other records of examinations as Shri Amolak Ram against Shri Molak Ram by correcting the mistake in the name of her father. 2. According to the petitioner and that is so by the certificates issued by the Register of Births and Deaths also that the actual name of the father of the petitioner is Amolak Ram. It appears, in the school record as well as in the certificates, there is a clerical mistake and the name is shown as Molak Ram only (first letter ‘A’ is missing). It appears inadvertently, it has been left out in the record. The petitioner had made requests for correction of the same. Therefore, it is just fair and appropriate that the actual name of the father of the petitioner is entered in the school record as well as certificates. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the respondents to see that the name of the father of the petitioner is correctly shown as Amolak Ram in the school record and in the certificates. The needful shall be done within one month on the production of the copy of this judgment and corrected certificates be issued to the petitioner within another two weeks. Petition stands disposed of. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice May 10, 2010(k/s) (Justice R.B. Misra) Judge
