THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/11/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 34463 OF 2010 ===================== Dated this the 16th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims that he was a student of Arya Central School, Pattom, Thiruvanthapuram. According to the petitioner, in the CBSE certificate, his date of birth has been wrongly shown as 1/6/91 instead of 24/7/90. Seeking correction of the date of birth, petitioner's father made Ext.P3 representation to the 2nd respondent. Orders were not passed, and therefore the writ petition is filed. 2. Going by the rules of the CBSE, in the matter of correction of date of birth, application should be made to the school concerned and it is for the school concerned to forward the application to the 1st respondent, the competent authority. In this case, there is nothing on record to indicate that either the petitioner or his father made any application to the school concerned or that the school has forwarded any application to the 1st respondent. In that view of the matter, the relief sought for to direct the 2nd respondent to pass orders on Ext.P3 application is misconceived and I am not inclined to grant the same. WPC No. 34463/10 :2 : 3. Be that as it may, it is clarified that it will be open to the petitioner to make an application to the school where he has completed his studies, in which event, it is up to the school authorities to forward the application to the 1st respondent for consideration of the same in accordance with law. Clarifying the position as above, the writ petition is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
