HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - C No. - 32398 of 2026 Court No. - 38 HON'BLE VINOD DIWAKAR, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Vaibhav Tripathi, learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondents. 2. The present writ petition has been filed seeking to quash and set aside the impugned order dated 13.05.2026 passed by the Additional Secretary, Secondary Education Board, Regional Office, Meerut, whereby the petitioner's request for correction of date of birth in the school records has been declined. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner's date of birth has been wrongly recorded as 25.07.2005, whereas the petitioner's correct date of birth is 25.07.2007. 4. In compliance with the order dated 14.08.2026, learned Standing Counsel has produced the instructions. As per the instructions, upon verification of the scholar register, it has been found that there exists overwriting in the entry recording the petitioner's date of birth, which raises a serious doubt as to the genuineness and sanctity of the said record. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the impugned order as well as the instructions produced before this Court, it emerges that the authority concerned, upon due verification, found overwriting in the scholar register with respect to the entry of the petitioner's date of birth. This Court does not find any illegality, perversity, or infirmity in the impugned order dated 13.05.2026 warranting interference. 6. The writ petition, being devoid of merit, is accordingly dismissed. September 15, 2026 Shafique Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Alok Kumar Srivastava Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.
