An application was submitted for correction of name before the Board of Secondary Education (for short “Board”), but the Board vide order dated 05.09.2016 rejected the said prayer of the petitioner. 3. It is apprised at Bar by the counsel for the respondent-State that at the time of submission of application form, the name of father of the petitioner was mentioned as Datar Singh Barwa as well as Ranjit Singh, hence in the school record, the name of father of the petitioner was recorded as Datar Singh Barwa in place of Ranjit Singh and, accordingly, the mark-sheet of Class 10th of the petitioner was issued by the Board. 4. The reply submitted by the Secretary, Board indicates that in absence of the affidavit of the petitioner and in absence of the school record duly certified by the gazetted officer of the school, such correction cannot be carried out. 5.
