Delhi: The Delhi High Court has issued notice to
the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Delhi
government on a student's plea for a direction to correct his
father's name on examination certificates, which was not done
despite several attempts.
The notice was issued Friday by Justice Kailash Gambhir to the
CBSE, the Delhi government and the government-run Boys Senior
Secondary School in north Delhi, seeking their response by Sep 13.
The court was hearing a petition filed by the student, Mukesh
Kumar, through his lawyer Ashok Agarwal.
According to the petition, Mukesh was admitted to Class 6 of the
Boys Senior Secondary School of Karala area April 24, 2000.
"At the time of admission, as per the school records, his father's
name was correctly registered in the school records as Ram Pratap,"
said the petition.
Mukesh appeared for Class 10 boards in 2007. While filling up the
form, the father's name was correctly written as Ram Pratap but
however, when he received his certificate his father's name was
wrongly mentioned as "Rana Pratap."
The board repeated the same mistake while issuing Class 12
certificate. Aggrieved by the continuous error and in order to get
it rectified, the petitioner made a written request to the
school's principal in 2009.
The school directed him to go to the CBSE, where he was again sent
back to school.
"Till date, the board has not rectified the petitioner father's
name," said Agarwal, saying on one occasion a board official had
even threatened Mukesh.
"One of the board officials said, 'Tu nikal jaa yahan se, tera
kuch nahin hoga, aur tujhe jo karna hai woh kar le (You get out
from here, nothing can be done in your case, do whatever you want
to do)," said the petition, adding that they also sent legal
notice but got no reply from the CBSE, forcing them to move the
high court.
