The petitioner's date of birth is 1.2.1988. But, the same is mistakenly shown in the Pass Certificate issued by the CBSE as 2.2.1989. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to correct the same. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the CBSE also. 3. The question of correction of certificates issued by the CBSE has been subject matter of a writ appeal and several connected cases, namely, W.A.No.1948/2008 and connected cases, where this Court has directed similar correction. In the above circumstances, following that judgment, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: The petitioner shall produce the original records to prove his date of birth before the 1st respondent, who shall consider the same and correct the date of birth of the petitioner in the records as well as in the Pass Certificate of the CBSE examination in accordance with the said judgment, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
