From the counter affidavit, it appears that after receipt of the request of the petitioner dated 19.3.1996, Annexure-4 to correct her date of birth, the authorities of the Board wrote to the school where petitioner prosecuted her studies to verify the date of birth from the school records but no response has been received from the school, relief prayed for in the writ petition could not be granted. It appears from the registration receipt 2 and the admit card that date of birth of the petitioner in the records of the Board itself is 1.1.1977 but contrary to the records of the Board her matriculation certificate indicates the date of birth of the petitioner as 1.1.1975. After receipt of the matriculation certificate, Annexure-3, petitioner submitted representation dated 19.3.1996, Annexure-4 for correction of her date of birth from 1.1.1975 to 1.1.1977 as is indicated in the registration receipt and the admit card, in response whereto the authorities of the Board wrote to the Headmaster of the school but the Headmaster of the school has not responded. In the circumstances, I direct the petitioner to produce the original of the registration receipt and the admit card and in the light of the date of birth entry in the two documents, her date of birth in the matriculation certificate be corrected. Documents referred to in this order be produced by the petitioner before the Secretary of the Board within two weeks from the date of 3 receipt of the certified copy of this order and within one month from the date of receipt of the original documents from the petitioner, the Secretary of the Board should issue marks-sheet correcting the date of birth of the petitioner.
