Ratan v. State of Haryana and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Ratan v. State of Haryana & Ors., CWP-35990-2025, High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh, decided 15.01.2026 by Kuldeep Tiwari J (oral). Matriculation-certificate father's-name correction rejected by Haryana School Education Board (order dt. 11.05.2022, Annexure P-18) challenged under Article 226/227 Constitution; petition DISPOSED OF on inter-se consensus without ruling on validity — petitioner and respondent No.3 (School) to deliver identity proofs and school records (incl. admission register) to the Board within 15 days, Board then to reconsider and issue fresh order in accordance with law. No cases cited; useful for consent-based disposal and Board record-verification practice, not for substantive precedent on name-correction entitlements.
What did the court decide?
Writ petition disposed of on consensus without examining validity of the impugned order; petitioner and respondent No.3 to supply identity proofs of the petitioner's father and relevant school records (including admission register) to respondent No.2 within 15 days, whereupon respondent No.2 shall reconsider the application and pass a fresh order in accordance with law.
