This request appears to be made for the reason that the marriage of the petitioner with the 2nd respondent has been dissolved by Ext. P1 order. 2. A statement has been filed by the 1st respondent. The stand taken is that such deletion is possible either when the 2nd respondent surrenders the passport for correct or when the next renewal is due. In view of the statement as above, it is ordered that if the 2nd respondent applies for correction or the 2nd respondent applies for renewal the name of the petitioner shall be deleted from the passport held by the 2nd respondent. The writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
