Dear sir,
I have changed my daughter legal name through gazzette notification, she just passed ssc exam in this year result out online, original still not issued .
I want to know the legal status of gazzette notification can I change ssc marksheet and certificate through ssc board office directly.
Because school headmistress doesn't support for issue of LC with new name they asking as per old record they will issue LC.
And all onwards documents can apply with new name.
Pls reply your response is highly appreciated.

The gazette notification is not enough to change the name in the school records or the leaving certificate, the school authorities can do so only by an order of court however you can start using the new name from the date of gazette publication.

Dear sir, I have changed Aadhar card, pan card, bank account name on the basis of gazzette notification but For SSC marksheet and leaving still not request Maharashtra board, School doesn't accept Gazette notifications saying Gazzette valid till 7th std after that can not change.
Can I carry new name in future in all educational documents.

You may have to file a mandatory injunction suit seeking direction to the concerned authorities to carry out amendment in the records and the documents on the basis of the government gazette publication.

File a declaratory suit before jurisdictional civil court through a local prudent lawyer.
