IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.25797 of 2006 Dated: February 23, 2007 Between: B. Ganesh, S/o. B. Satyanarayana, aged 26 years, Occ: nill, R/o. 1-11-105/A, Chinna Thokatta village, Bowenpally, Secunderabad. … Petitioner And The Head Master, Govt. High School (B), Bowenpally, Hyderabad. … Respondent Order: This Writ Petition has been filed seeking Mandamus to direct the respondent to correct the name of petitioner’s father as ‘B. Satyanarayana’ instead of ‘B. Ramulu’ in the school records. The case of the petitioner is that when he was admitted in the respondent school, his father’s name was entered as ‘B. Ramulu’ instead of ‘B. Satyanarayana’. It is his grievance that even in the Bonafide and Conduct Certificate issued to him after completion of Secondary School Certificate examination, his father’s name is wrongly shown as stated above. Petitioner claims that though he has orally requested the respondent to make necessary correction, it was not accepted. As much as he has appeared for S.S.C. examinations, the S.S.C. Board is the competent authority to make necessary corrections. However, the petitioner has not made the said authority as party respondent in the Writ Petition. There is also no basis for the claim of the petitioner that he has requested the respondent to make necessary corrections. In the absence of any written representation made in that regard, no direction as sought for can be given. In these circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of keeping it open to the petitioner to make a representation to the competent authority to get his father’s name corrected in the school records and if any such representation is made, the same shall be considered by the competent authority and appropriate steps be taken in accordance with law. No costs. ______________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. February 23, 2007 MRR
