Her date of birth is 20.3.1988. But, the same is mistakenly shown in the Pass Certificate and statement of marks of the CBSE examination issued by the respondents to the petitioner as 20.3.1989. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to correct the same. 2. I have heard the standing counsel appearing for the CBSE also. 3. The question of correction of certificates issued by the respondents has been the subject matter of a writ appeal and several connected cases, namely, W.A. No.1948/2008 and connected cases, wherein, this Court has directed similar corrections of dates of birth of similarly placed students. 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 her date of birth before the respondents, who shall consider the same and correct the date of birth of the petitioner in the school records as well as in the pass Certificate and statement of marks of the CBSE examination, 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.
