Degree course in Computer Science after passing the ICSE Examination. The petitioner's date of birth is 30.3.1988. But, the same is mistakenly shown in the Pass Certificate and statement of marks of the ICSE examination issued by the respondent to the petitioner as 30.3.1989. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent to correct the same. 2. I have heard the standing counsel appearing for the ICSE also. 3. The question of correction of certificates issued by the respondent has been the subject matter of a writ appeal and several connected cases, namely, W.A. No.1948/2008 and connected cases, wherein this Court has directed similar corrections of dates of birth of similarly placed students. In the above circumstances, following that judgment, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: The petitioner shall produce the original records to prove his date of birth before the respondent, who shall consider the same and correct the date of birth of the petitioner in the school records as well as in the Pass Certificate and statement of marks of ICSE examination in accordance with the said judgment as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
