IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1931 of 2010 GOPAL SARAN SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the Petitioner: Mr Sharad Kumar Sinha,Advocate For the State : Mr Shashi Bhushan Kumar, SC 16 ------ 2. 03.02.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the Bihar School Examination Board. The son of the petitioner was studying in the Government Middle School, Yogipur in the district of Nalanda where his date of birth was recorded as 30.11.1995. He then took admission in the Government High School, Yogipur where his date of birth was inadvertently entered as 30.11.1996. The Principal of the High School has endorsed on the representation of the petitioner addressed to the respondent Board that the error was committed by the school authority. The fact that the school is a Government School cannot be lost sight of. Learned Counsel for the Board fairly submits that it is the duty of the Board to examine the issue when the Principal of a Government School admits in writing that there has been an inadvertent error and the correct date of birth already stands recorded in the Admission Register of the earlier Middle School. He submits that the Board shall do so within a maximum period of two weeks from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order and shall then proceed accordingly with regard to the issue of acceptance of fees and forms of son of the petitioner. The writ application stands disposed in the aforesaid terms. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
