Orders
Case Summary: WP/9114/2024 The Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) allowed the petitioner's writ petition challenging the school's rejection of his name correction request. The petitioner sought to correct his name from "Patel Shoaib Riyaz" to "Pathan Shoaib Riyaz" in school records, supported by his father's school leaving certificate and an official gazette notification. The school rejected the application citing Secondary School Code clause 26.4, which restricts name changes to current students only. However, the court found this an "obvious mistake" falling within established precedent (Janabai Himmatrao Thakur case) permitting corrections even after students leave school when sufficient supporting evidence exists. The court quashed the school's rejection and directed the Education Officer to grant sanction for the name change. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
