KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No.29052 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 3rd October, 2007 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner who is the father of a three months old child by name 'Rafa Fathima' seems to be genuine. According to him, an error has crept into the entry in the register of births and deaths maintained by the 1st respondent-Corporation regarding the birth of his daughter. He has filed Ext.P2 application seeking correction. It is not disputed before me by the Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent-Corporation that Ext.P2 is entertainable in view of Section 15 of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 and Rule 11(1) of the Kerala Registration of Births and Deaths Rules, 1999. I dispose of the Writ Petition directing the 1st respondent-Corporation to take up Ext.P2 immediately and dispose of the same following the procedure prescribed by Rule 11 of the Kerala Registration of Births and Deaths Rules, 1999. Needful shall be done by the 1st respondent at the earliest and at any rate, within one month of receipt of copy of this judgment. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
