Delhi HC Orders CBSE to Rectify Student Record

The Delhi High Court reinforced the importance of accurate official documents, specifically birth certificates.

It directed the CBSE to correct a student's date of birth in their records, aligning with the birth certificate.

The court emphasized that correct information in public records is crucial for citizens' identity and avoids confusion.

This decision came after CBSE appealed against an earlier order.

The court highlighted the legal presumption of correctness for birth certificates issued by competent authorities.

The court dismissed CBSE's argument that the request came after the deadline.

The court agreed with the single judge.
