Ashfaque Khan Hasan Khan v. the State of Maharashtra through Its Secretary and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
The Bombay High Court held that refusing to consider a school record correction request under the Secondary School Code 2006 solely due to prior discontinuation was unsustainable. Quashing the order and setting aside the refusal, the court directed the Education Officer to decide afresh within six weeks applying the Janabai Thakur principles. It is a partly allowed writ petition.
What did the court decide?
Impugned order quashed and set aside. Petition allowed partly. Matter remanded to Education Officer for fresh decision within six weeks.
