Bombay Court allows correction of school records even after leaving

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

The Bombay High Court's Aurangabad bench ruled on Wednesday that students can correct errors in school records or leaving certificates even after leaving the school.
The ruling came in a case filed by Janabai Himmatrao Thakur, whose application to correct her date of birth on a leaving certificate was rejected because she had left school.
The state government had argued, citing Rules 26.3 and 26.4 of the School Code, that corrections are allowed only during a student's education.
The court held that the reason for leaving a school cannot be used to deny a correction, provided the student submits relevant documents and evidence.
The judgment matters because record errors in names or birth dates can create problems in education, job verification, and government schemes.

Whether the education department issues fresh instructions to allow post-leaving corrections across schools.
How students' correction applications are processed after this ruling, including the documents and evidence required.
Whether any appeal or further litigation follows, given earlier conflicting judgments from the Aurangabad and Nagpur benches.
