Chennai is without application of mind. The petitioner has submitted all the necessary documents to show that her date of birth was inadvertently recorded in her school certificates and it is contrary to her birth certificate. While so, the fourth respondent, without examining the correctness or otherwise of the claim of the petitioner has simply rejected the representation of the petitioner on the ground that the school has not approached them with any request for correcting the date of birth of the petitioner. It is further submitted by the learned Senior counsel for the petitioner that admittedly, the petitioner studied IX standard in Asaan Memorial Senior Secondary School in Chennai which comes within the administrative control of the fourth respondent. Therefore, the learned Senior counsel for the petitioner would contend that the fourth respondent has failed to exercise his administrative powers properly and it had resulted in miscarriage of justice. The learned Senior counsel for the petitioner also placed reliance on the order dated 18.09.2012 passed by this Court in WP No. 8340 of 2009 (S. Rajesh Kumar vs. Secretary, Board of Higher Secondary Education, Department of Government Education, Chennai - 600 006 wherein, this Court issued a direction to the educational authorities to issue the S.S.L.C. mark sheet and other records after carrying necessary corrections in the date of birth of the petitioner therein.
