IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.152 of 2009 PRINS RAJ RAY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4/ 26/02/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent Bihar School Examination Board, Patna. The petitioner originally came to this Court seeking a direction for publication of his result of the Matriculation examination in which he appeared in the year-2007 from an independent High School, Itarhi at Buxar. The respondent Board has filed its counter affidavit. The contention of the Board at paragraph-9 is that the petitioner does not appear to have mentioned his age correctly as around 17 to 18 years. On doubts arising from his photograph on the admit card, the petitioner was referred to a Medical Board along with such other candidates where his age has been assessed around 20 to 21 years. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has no objection to the stand of the Board in paragraph-9 of the counter affidavit. His mark sheet and other certificates may be issued recording his date of birth in accordance with that assessed by the medical 2 board and that he is ready and willing to pay the necessary fees for the same also. This Court, however, finds substance in the plea of the petitioner that this date of birth should be determined on the minimum assessed by the Medical Board. The petitioner admittedly fulfills the requirement of minimum age for appearing at the Matriculation examination. The writ application is disposed in terms of the stand of the Board at paragraph-9 of the counter affidavit. Let the age of the petitioner be assessed accordingly and marksheet/certificates issued accordingly. KC (Navin Sinha, J.)
