The petitioner's date of birth is 21.2.1989. But, the same is mistakenly shown in the mark statement of the CBSE examination issued by the respondents as 21.12.1988. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to correct the same. 2. I have heard the standing counsel appearing for the CBSE also. 3. The question of correction of certificates issued by the respondents has been the subject matter of a writ appeal and several connected cases, namely, W.A. No.1948/2008 and connected cases, wherein 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 2nd respondent, who shall consider the same and correct the date of birth of the petitioner in the records as well as in the mark statement 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 copy of this judgment.
