made any representation therefore, the petitioner is permitted to submit another representation along with the certificate issued by the respective Village Administrative Officer and other relevant records to establish the name of the petitioner's father as Guruvan, within a period of two weeks.

3. The learned Government Advocate has also submitted that the petitioner has not made any representation to the Block Educational Officer, who is the Competent Authority and also not made as a party in this writ petition.
