THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.3071 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of the first respondent in rejecting her application with regard to change of her name and date of birth in the academic records. It has been averred that the name of the petitioner in the records of school was Kum.Dharmapuri Sai Sri Meghana. Now she intends to change her name to Kum.Deekshaa Dharmapuri. The first respondent filed counter-affidavit, wherein it has been stated that as per bye law No.69.1, no change in name/surname once recorded in the Board’s record shall be made. However, the correction in name to the extent of correction in spelling errors, factual typographical errors in the candidates name/surname, father’s name/mother’s name or Guardian’s name to make it consistent with what is given in the school record or list of candidates (LOC) submitted by the school may be made. It has further been averred that in no case, correction shall include alteration, addition, deletion to make it different from the list of candidates or the school records as per the amended bye-laws. In view of the above, as there is complete change in the name of the petitioner, hence, the same cannot be impermissible as per Bye Law No.69.1. Resultantly, there is no merit in the present writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. The petitioner may, if so advised, seek an alternative remedy, available under law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA April 27, 2011 Pn THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.3071 of 2011 April 27, 2011 Pn
