JUDGMENT

The petitioner completed the Secondary School Examination in the year 2014. The petitioner, on 20.4.2015, approached the school authorities to correct his name in the school records. The school authorities forwarded the application by Exhibit P5 to the second respondent. The said application has been rejected by the CBSE stating that the application for correction cannot be entertained by the Board after one year.

2. It is seen that the date of Exhibit P3 certificate is 19.5.2015. The petitioner submitted the application on 20.4.2015. This would clearly show that the application was submitted within one year.

3. In the light of above facts, Exhibit P9 is liable to be set aside, as the petitioner approached the school authorities within time. The school authorities are directed to correct the school records and forward the same to the

WP(C).31507/15 third respondent within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Thereafter, the third respondent shall effect necessary changes in the certificate within a further period of three months. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
