HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - C No. - 37147 of 2026 Court No. - 38 HON'BLE VINOD DIWAKAR, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the State, and perused the record. 2. The present petition has been preferred seeking a direction to respondent no. 2 to correct the date of birth of the petitioner as 06.04.1977, in place of the incorrectly recorded date of birth, in the High School marksheet (Roll No. 4205352) for the year 2012, and to issue a corrected marksheet and certificate within a reasonable time. A further direction is sought for correction of the entry with respect to the husband's name, as raised in the application submitted to the Principal, Durgdeo Janta Inter College, Gaddopur, Jaunpur, on 13.10.2012, annexed at page 26 of the writ petition. 3. The case of the petitioner is that she was born on 06.04.1977, and passed 5th class in the year 1988 from Prathmik Vidyalaya, Shivpur, Sirkoni, District Jaunpur. She subsequently passed Junior High School from Junior High School, Nehru Nagar, Jaunpur, in the year 1991, and thereafter passed High School in the year 2012 from Durgdeo Janta Inter College, Gaddopur, District Jaunpur, bearing Roll No. 4205352. However, an incorrect date of birth, as well as an incorrect entry of the husband's name, came to be recorded in the High School marksheet. The petitioner, therefore, approached respondent no. 3 by means of an application dated 13.10.2012, but no action was taken thereon. Left with no option, the petitioner further approached the Regional Secretary, Madhyamik, on 16.08.2013. Thereafter, the District Inspector of Schools (DIOS), Jaunpur, issued a letter dated 09.06.2023, addressed to all the Principals of the district, directing correction Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Amar Nath Pandey, Ashish Kumar Pandey Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C. Pushpa Devi .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P. And 2 Others .....Respondent(s) of the date of birth in similar cases; however, the same has not been complied with in the case of the petitioner till date. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material on record, this Court finds that the petitioner fulfils the criteria for correction of the date of birth and the husband's name, as recognized and permitted under the relevant circulars of the Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad. 5. Accordingly, the present writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent nos. 2 and 3 to do the needful in terms of the contentions raised by the petitioner herein, and to correct the date of birth as 06.04.1977, as well as the entry regarding the husband's name, in the High School marksheet/certificate (Roll No. 4205352). If any delay has occasioned in preferring the representation/application for correction, the same shall stand condoned, and the correction as directed above shall be carried out within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
