THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/01/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ========================= W.P.(C)NO.824 OF 2008 ========================= Dated this the 17th day of January 2008 JUDGMENT Ext.P4 is an application filed by the petitioner seeking to correct his date of birth in Ext.P2 certificate issued by the third respondent. The request made in this behalf was turned down by Ext.P5 as per Rule 69.2(1) of the Examination Byelaws of 1995 of the first respondent. It is stated that the date of birth of the candidate has been printed in Ext.P2 in accordance with the school records. 2. As can be seen from Ext.P4, the request made by the petitioner is to the Principal and that too for correction of the school records which has been erroneously mentioned. Necessarily, therefore, correction has to be initially recorded in the school records and that is to be done by the 5th respondent. Once such correction is made, it is for the Principal to forward the corrected details of the petitioner to the 4th respondent and once that is done, it is for the 4th respondent to consider the request of the petitioner. 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that W.P.(c)824/2008 2 acting upon Ext.P4, the 5th respondent shall carry out necessary correction in the school records and based on the corrected records, necessary consequential correction will be incorporated in Ext.P2. This shall be done by the 4th respondent within 8 weeks of receipt of the corrected records from the 5th respondent. ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE css/
