2. The petitioner has filed this writ application for correcting the date of birth as entered in the certificate of having passed Madhyama examination by Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board in 2000. It is the petitioner's claim that his actual date of birth is 07.04.1985 in place of which his date of birth has been entered as 30.12.1984 in the said certificate. It has been stated that even in the transfer certificate issued by the School where the petitioner was studying, his date of birth has been entered as 07.04.1985. It is also his case that he has represented before the Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board for correction of his date of birth.

3. My attention has been drawn by the learned counsel for the Board Annexure-4 of the writ application, which is said

Patna High Court CWJC No.13539 of 2018(2) dt.23-08-2018 2/2 to be a representation filed by the petitioner before the Board for correction of his date of birth, on 16.04.2014. In the said representation, the petitioner has owned his mistake leading to wrong entry of his date of birth. The petitioner has approached this Court nearly two decades after passing the examination in question and issuance of certificate. There is no valid explanation available in the writ application for such delay.

4. On the ground of delay and latches, this writ application deserves to be dismissed. This writ application is, accordingly, dismissed.
