THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.22830 of 2011 Date: 12.08.2011 Between: A. Rama Koteswar Rao … Petitioner and The Board of Secondary Education, A.P. Chapel Road, Gunfoundry, Hyderabad, rep.by its Commissioner. … Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.22830 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri B. Kiran Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for School Education appearing for the respondent. 2. This writ petition filed seeking a direction to the respondent to change the date of birth of the petitioner is misconceived. 3. According to the petitioner, his date of birth was 05.04.1960. But it was wrongly entered in the S.S.C. Certificate as 05.01.1957. He seeks correction of his date of birth as 05.04.1960 on the ground that his elder brother was born on 06.08.1948, his sister was born in the year 1951, another brother was born on 19.06.1954, and the third elder brother was born on 15.05.1957. Except the self-serving statement of the petitioner referring to the dates of birth of his brothers and sister, he has not filed any material supporting the statement. Admittedly, the petitioner passed S.S.C. in the year 1978 and he did not take any steps to get his date of birth corrected eversince then. He has not even filed any application before any competent authority pleading his grievance. In any event, the question as to the correct date of birth, which involves disputed questions requiring evidence, cannot be decided in writ proceedings. 4. For the foregoing reasons, no relief can be granted to the petitioner and this writ petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed at the admission stage. No order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 12.08.2011. Msr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.22830 of 2011 12.08.2011 (Msr)
