J U D G M E N T The petitioner appeared for the Higher Secondary Examination in the 2nd respondent's school affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education. The petitioner's date of birth is 14-5-1989. But, the same is mistakenly shown in Ext. P 1 school certificate as 4- 5-1990. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to correct the same. 2. I have heard the standing counsel for the CBSC also. 3. The question of correction of certificate issued by the 3rd respondent has been subject matter of a batch of writ appeals, namely, W.A. No. 1948/2008 and connected cases, wherein this Court has, by a common judgment, laid down the law relating to such correction, which permits such correction, if appropriate evidence of the correct date of birth is produced. 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 3rd , who shall consider the same and if he is satisfied as to the correct date of birth of the petitioner, correct the date of birth of the petitioner in the records as well as Ext.P1 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.
