I do not propose to go into the merits of the mater. Grievance of the petitioner is that the first respondent is not inclined to entertain Ext.P1 application submitted by him for correction of the name of his son as Michayel John instead of Michayel Lonappan. According to the petitioner Lonappan is his father's name and his father's names happened to suffix his son's name by mistake. It appears to me that there is some genuineness in the grievance voiced by the petitioner. Having heard the submissions of Sri.G.Sreekumar, counsel for the petitioner and those of Sri.K.B.Mohandas, learned standing counsel for the Corporation, I dispose of the writ petition directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P1 in the light of Section 15 of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act 1969 as well as Circular No. B1/2815/07 dated 7/11/2007 issued by the Chief Registrar and all WPC.No.13049/08 2 ruling circulars and take a decision on Ext.P1 at the earliest and at any rate within one month of receiving a copy of this judgment and a copy of the writ petition from the petitioner.
