JUSTICE PRATEEK JALAN O R D E R % 15.05.2025 CM APPL. 29603/2025 (filed by petitioner seeking directions) 1. The petitioner has filed this application alleging non-compliance of order dated 07.05.2025, by which the captioned writ petition was disposed of with the following directions: “6. Having regard to this submission, the writ petition, along with the pending application, is disposed of with the following directions.

If any further documents are to be produced, the petitioner will be informed tomorrow, so that the documents can be produced by the petitioner in time. (c) The rectified certificate will be furnished to the University and to Mrs. Ahlawat by Tuesday, i.e., 13.05.2025. The University will thereafter fix a date and time for the petitioner’s interview.” 2. The difficulty appears to be that the office of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate [‘SDM’] has no facility for correction of the OBC (NCL) Certificate issued on 22.01.2025, as directed in Paragraph 6(a) of the aforesaid order. 3. Mr. N.K. Singh, learned counsel for the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, instructed by Mr. Manish Chandra Verma, SDM, Rohini, who is present via video conference, states that instead of a corrected certificate, the SDM will issue a clarificatory communication addressed to respondent No. 2 - Delhi Technology University [“University”] stating that: (i) The OBC (NCL) certificate dated 22.01.2025 contains a typographical error in referencing the number of the petitioner’s earlier OBC (NCL) certificate dated 27.04.2010. The correct certificate number of the said earlier certificate is “9531040906”. (ii) The OBC (NCL) certificate dated 22.01.2025 pertains to the financial year 2024-2025. 4. The application is disposed of with the direction that the SDM will issue the said clarification and hand it over to the petitioner by tomorrow, This is a digitally signed order.
