The Court emphasizes the necessity for complete documentation when requesting corrections in official records.

JUDGMENT

Petitioner seeks for the following main relief:

“To issue a writ of mandamus directing the respondents 1 to 3 to correct the entries in Ext.P1 document regarding the name of the petitioner's father and mother as requested as per Ext.P5 application forwarded by the 4^th respondent and issue fresh certificate within a time period as fixed by this Hon'ble Court.”

2. Petitioner contends that the names of her father and mother, as shown in the CBSE Secondary School Examination certificate, contain certain errors, and she applied for correction of those mistakes. Despite the lapse of time, no orders have been issued correcting the mistake, and hence, she has approached this Court.

3. A statement has been filed on behalf of respondents 1 to

3, pointing out that on scrutiny of the application received, it was found that the petitioner's request for correction of name was incomplete and was not supported by mandatory documents required under the examination Bye-Laws governing the correction of candidates' particulars in records of the Board. It is also pointed out that a communication was issued to the petitioner on 23.02.2026, and an e-mail was sent to the Principal-the 4^th respondent, despite which the petitioner failed to submit the necessary documents.

4. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Standing Counsel for the CBSE.

5. During the course of arguments, it was submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that, after filing the writ petition, ie, on 12.03.2026, necessary documents as sought for in Ext.R1(a) have been submitted to the respondents. In view of the above submission, this writ petition can be disposed of.

Since the petitioner claims that the necessary documents have been submitted, there will be direction to the competent amongst respondents 1 to 3 to consider the request of the petitioner for correction of name of her father and mother, as sought for in Exts.P4 and P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
