THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No : 26050 of 2010 O R D E R: This writ petition has been instituted seeking directions to the respondent – Regional Passport Authority to correct the entry relating to the date of birth of the petitioner as 12.12.1972 instead of 12.12.1970 in the passport bearing No. Q-365407. Heard Sri Mohd. Zakir Hussain, learned counsel for the petitioner. In support of his claim, the petitioner had, in fact, enclosed a copy of the record sheet issued by the Primary School in Hyderabad, wherein the date of birth of the petitioner has been recorded as 12.12.1972. It appears as though that by sheer inadvertence, the entry relating to his date of birth in his passport bearing No. Q- 365407 has been recorded as 12.12.1970 instead of 12.12.1972. Such corrections being insignificant and inconsequential, they are required to be carried out upon being satisfied about the genuineness of the claim in that regard. In fact, this very question has been considered in great detail in WP No. 19376 of 2007. By the judgment rendered on 21.9.2007, this Court directed the respondents to receive the application of the petitioner for making the necessary correction of the entries of the date of birth of the petitioner. In the facts and circumstances stated above, I direct the respondent to receive the application of the petitioner for making the necessary correction of entries of the date of birth of the petitioner from 12.12.1970 to 12.12.1972 and issue the revised or corrected passport within a further period of 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. With this, the writ petition stands disposed of at the stage of admission, but however, without costs. ---------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J 22nd October 2010 ksld .....
