TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 32341 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 6th day of December, 2011 J U D G M E N T According to the petitioner, he was a student of the school of which the 1st respondent is the Principal. The school is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education. Petitioner says that in the school records and the certificates issued, his date of birth has been shown as 15/5/93 whereas his original date of birth is 14/7/92. He made Ext.P3 application to the 1st respondent. Although there is an averment to the effect that the application has been forwarded to the 2nd respondent, nothing has been produced to substantiate the said contention. The complaint in the writ petition is regarding the alleged delay on the part of the 2nd respondent in dealing with the application. 2. I heard the standing counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent also. As already noticed, there is nothing to indicate that Ext.P3 application has been forwarded by the 1st respondent to the 2nd respondent. In such circumstances, if the application has not already been forwarded, the 1st respondent shall, on the production of a copy of this judgment, verify the school records WPC No.32341/11 :2 : and if correction is allowed, then forward the application and other documents to the 2nd respondent, who thereupon shall conduct appropriate enquiry and pass orders in the matter. This process shall be completed by the 2nd respondent within eight weeks of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 3. On the other hand, if the documents are already forwarded, in such case also the 2nd respondent shall complete the process of enquiry and pass orders thereon within the time specified above. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
