SRI.K.B.MOHANDAS,SC,THRISSUR CORPORATIO THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 5123 of 2008 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of February , 2008 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is that the first respondent has not taken any action on Ext.P1 application for correction of name of his daughter and his wife which were wrongly entered in the birth register maintained by the first respondent in respect of their daughter. The petitioner relies on the judgment of this court in Girijan v. The Registrar of Births and Deaths (2003 (2) KLT 22). My attention was also drawn to Circular No. B -2815/2007 dated 7.11.2007 issued by the Chief Registrar of Births and Deaths. It would be seen from Ext.P2 that Ext.P1 was received by the first respondent sufficiently early. Under the above circumstances, I dispose of this Writ Petition directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P1 and take a correct decision on the same having due regard to the judgment of this court in Girijan v. the Registrar of Births and Deaths (supra) and also the Circular of the Chief Registrar dated 7.11.2007. Decision, as directed above ,shall be taken by the first respondent at the earliest and at any WPC No. 5123/2008 2 rate within three weeks of the petitioner producing a copy of this judgment as well as a copy of the circular of the Chief Registrar.
