HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.25628 of 2010 Date: October 08, 2010 Between: Katta Rithvik Reddy … Petitioner And The Regional Passport Officer, Secunderabad. … Respondent * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.25628 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition has been instituted seeking directions to the respondent – Regional Passport Authority to correct the entry relating to the date of birth and place of birth of the petitioner as 29.10.1999, Hyderabad instead of 30.12.1999, Siripuram in the passport bearing No.G 7053977. 2. Heard Sri Mohd. Zakir Hussain, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri P. Ashok Goud, learned Assistant Solicitor General for the Central Government. 3. In support of his claim, the petitioner had, in fact, enclosed a copy of the birth certificate issued by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation wherein the date of birth and place of birth of the petitioner have been recorded as 29.10.1999, Balanagar, Hyderabad. It appears as though that by sheer inadvertence, the entry relating to his date of birth in his passport bearing No. G 7053977 has been recorded as 30.12.1999 instead of 29.10.1999. 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 respondent to receive the application of the petitioner for making the necessary correction of the entries of the date of birth of the petitioner. 4. In the facts and circumstances stated above, I direct the respondent to receive the application of the petitioner for making necessary correction of entries of the date of birth and place of birth of the petitioner from 30.12.1999, Siripuram to 29.10.1999, Hyderabad and issue the revised or corrected passport within a further period of 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. 5. With this, the writ petition stands disposed of at the stage of admission, but however, without costs. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J Date: October 08, 2010. BSB
