THE REGIONAL OFFICER, CENTRAL BOARD OF SECONDARY EDUCATION (C.B.S.E.), PATNA REGION ----------- 2. 04.04.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner. It is submitted that the petitioner desires to change his surname from ‘Azad’ to ‘Sinha’ and accordingly desires correction in his final marksheet and certificate issued by the CBSE. It is submitted that the petitioner has applied to the CBSE in the prescribed manner but it remains pending consideration and no final orders have been passed. The only relief sought is for an appropriate direction to the CBSE to consider the petitioner’s request. Since the petitioner appears to be in haste and does not consider it necessary to enable this Court to call upon the CBSE for its response, this application is disposed with the observation that if the petitioner has applied for change of his surname, the rules of the CBSE permitting, let his application be considered and disposed off in accordance with law preferably within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
