Petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to the second respondent to effect necessary correction in the date of birth of the petitioner in Exhibits.P1 and P2 from 06.03.1990 to 03.08.1989 as evident from Exhibit.P3.
2. The matter is covered by the judgment of this Court in Sreeraj Nath v. Central Board of Secondary Education, Chennai (2013 KHC 2724) wherein this Court held that it is for the school authorities to make initial correction and thereafter forward the same to the CBSE for making corrections in the certificate and further that bar of five years will not stand in the way of causing date of birth corrected in genuine cases.
Under these circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of as under:
WP(C).No.31948/2013-P.
2 The petitioner shall submit a fresh application to the 3rd respondent, who shall make necessary enquiry in the matter and if the genuineness of the claim is found to be correct, necessary correction shall be made in the school records and the same shall be forwarded to the second respondent, who shall make necessary correction in the certificates issued by CBSE. This shall be done within a period of three months. It is open to the petitioner to produce authenticated copies of the birth certificate before the respondents. No costs.
