Coram:- J. N. PATEL & N. A. BRITTO, JJ. Date:- 28th November, 2006 P.C.: The petitioner has approached this Court for seeking a direction to the Respondent No.1 to carry out correction in the date of birth which is recorded in his Passport F 1451025. It is the case of the petitioner that the date of birth recorded in Passport F 1451025 is 20.08.1983, whereas the correct date of birth is 28.08.1983. In support of the same, the petitioner has annexed the certificate of birth issued by the Directorate of Planning, Statistics and Evaluation, Government of Goa which document has presumptive value. The petitioner has also annexed the Secondary School Certificate issued by the Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education which also records his date of birth as 28.08.1983. The learned Assistant Solicitor General states that on examining this appears to be an error which can be rectified by respondent No.1 and it does nto require any adjudication. He, therefore, submits that within a wek's time respondent No.1 would carry out the necessary correction by endorsing the same on the petitioner's passport. The petitioner is directed to attend the Office of the respondent No.1 on 5.12.06 and assist the respondent No.1 in processing the matter by producing all the original documents in his possession in support of his claim. In view of the statement made by the learned Asst. Solicitor General, no directions/order are required to be passed in this petition and the same stands disposed of accordingly. J. N. PATEL, J. N. A.
