Mantri, Advocate for the respondent no.3 None present for respondent no.4 though served ..... CORAM : B.R. GAVAI AND M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 26TH AUGUST, 2011 ORAL ORDER: 1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard by consent. 2. By way of present Petition, the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent no.2-Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and High Secondary Examination for correction of date of birth of the petitioner from 29.02.1990 to 23.02.1990. 3. It is the categorical contention of the petitioner that in 1990, the month of February, was only of 28 days and not 29 days. (2) WP 1241.2011 4. Shri Mantri, learned counsel appearing for the management also submits that the said date of birth was incorrectly recorded and now the school record of the petitioner is correctly recorded as 23.02.1990. It is not as if the petitioner is showing wrong date of birth by couple of years, so as to get some advantage. It appears that due to genuine mistake, the date of birth is recorded as 29.02.1990, when as a matter of fact there was no 29th day in the month of February, 1990. 5. In that view of the matter, Rule is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (B). The same shall be done by the respondent no.2-S.S.C. and H.S.C. Board within a period of one (1) month from today.
