ORAL ORDER
2 25-10-2018 The petitioner passed the Matriculation Examination held by the Bihar School Examination Board in the year 1984. Her date of birth has been mentioned as ‘14.10.1963’. It is the petitioner’s grievance that the date of birth has wrongly been mentioned in place of her correct date of birth as ‘14.10.1968’. Accordingly, the petitioner is seeking direction to the Bihar School Examination Board to correct her date of birth.
I am not inclined to entertain this application solely on the ground of delay as the Court finds it difficult to entertain this application filed nearly 23 years after the petitioner passed the matriculation examination.
Patna High Court CWJC No.12111 of 2017(2) dt.25-10-2018 2/2
