When the issue came in light, the Government representative highlighted in the Court that an amended certificate has been sent to the Petitioner, and the Petitioner confirmed Receipt of the same.
Further the Counsel for the Petitioners highlighted that the consequential corrections were not yet made in the Cowin portal.
Furthermore, the Court demanded the Respondents to further do the necessary and disposed the Petition observing that the rectified Certificate is delivered to the Petitioner.
The Petitioner was stipulated to produce in the Court in accordance to continued negligence on the part of the concerned authorities to correct the errors.

Although, when the Vaccination Certificate was disclosed in July, the Certificate displayed that the second dose was jabbed in July at a Vaccination Centre in Ernakulam.
