Having heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties and perused the material on record, it is evident from the admission form, as well as, the admission and withdrawal register, maintained by the respondent No.2 school, attended by the petitioner, that his name at all the relevant times is reflected as ‘Shaurya Gupta’ in the relevant records; as distinguished from ‘Shorya Gupta’, which is the name reflected in the Class X Secondary School Examination Certificate, issued by the CBSE.
