WP(C) 2758/2011 BEFORE THE HON BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 24.2.2010 (Annexure-E) of the Boa rd of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA), whereby his prayer for correction of hi s date of birth recorded in the matriculation certificate (Annexure-B) was not g ranted, by considering it to be a time barred case. It appears that the certificate in question was issued in the year 1972 and for the last nearly 4 decades, the petitioner had not questioned the correctness of the date of birth recorded in the said certificate. Since the correction of date of birth is recently prayed, according to the norms of the SEBA, the prayer of the petitioner has been refused. Considering the reason given by the SEBA Authorities for refusing to correct the date of birth recorded in the matriculation certificate issued in the year 1972 , I find that no interference with the said decision is called for and according ly the writ petition is dismissed. This order is passed after hearing Mr. HK Sarma, learned counsel for the petitio ner and Mr. TC Chutia, learned standing counsel for the SEBA.
