Sukhbir Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Haryana and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Pardeep Bajaj, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a direction to the Board of School Education, Haryana, to correct his date of birth in the matriculation certificate and issue a corrected matriculation certificate. The petitioner relies upon his alleged birth certificate issued by the Registrar, Birth and Deaths, Haryana (Annexure P-1), wherein the date of birth of the petitioner is recorded as 2.10.1990. In the Secondary Examination certificate of the petitioner (Annexure P-3), issued by the Board of School Education, Haryana, his date of birth is mentioned as 10.11.1989. The petitioner is stated to have applied in prescribed form (Annexure P-4) for the correction of his date of birth, but he alleges that the CWP No.19344 of 2011 [2] necessary correction has not been made so far and his application is still pending consideration. In these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the second respondent to consider and dispose of the petitioner's pending application, if so required after holding a fact finding enquiry and/or getting necessary information from the School record or the district administration and if it is found that the date of birth of the petitioner has been wrongly recorded, to carry out necessary correction within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. October 17, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
