THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.8020 of 2001 Dated : 01.08.2007 Between: Master Md.Jalaluddin S/o Khaja Mohiuddin ..... PETITIONER And: The Secretary, Board of Secondary Education, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.8020 of 2001 ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that he was born on 10.06.1976, but at the time of admission, his date of birth was mentioned as 16.06.1970 in the school records of the second respondent. He appeared for SCC examination held in March 1992 with Role No.0455691 and passed the examination. In view of the said wrong entry made at the time of admission, his date of birth is shown as 16.06.1970 in the Secondary School Certificate issued by the Board of Secondary Education of Andhra Pradesh. Hence, he gave an application dated 23.11.1995 to the respondents to correct his date of birth, and the third respondent, by his proceedings dated 15.02.2001, refused to consider the same. Hence, this writ petition. A counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents, wherein it is stated that as per G.O.Ms.No.1263 Education, dated 06.05.1996, as amended in G.O.Ms.No.430 dated 31.12.1982, any correction with regard to date of birth shall be made within a period of three years from the date of completion of the course, and as the petitioner completed SSC in the year 1992 and the application seeking correction was made on 23.11.1995, the same was rejected by the authorities. In the light of the averments in the counter, this Court is of the view that the petitioner cannot find fault with the respondents in not correcting his date of birth in the SCC certificate issued by the Board of Secondary Education. Hence, I see no merits in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ sh 01.08.2007
