THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.P. BALACHANDRAN, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(c) No. 32942 of 2008 ------------------------------ Dated this the 13th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Exhibit P5 order passed by the first respondent Revenue Divisional officer on Exhibit P4 application filed by him to record his birth in the Register of Births and Deaths as that had not been registered. It is admitted that litigations are pending wherein the age of the petitioner is a relevant factor as his paternity is in issue. The first respondent vide Exhibit P5 order has refused to record the date of birth in the register till disposal of O.P. No.1155 of 2007 and O.S. No.55 of 2008 pending respectively before the Family court, Ernakulam and Munsiff's Court, North Paravur and the circumstances to defer recording of birth is also stated in Exhibit P5 as being on the objection raised by Shri. Devadas, who is claimed to be the father of the petitioner. There is no reason to interfere with the Ext. P5 order and Ext.P5 order in the circumstances cannot be found fault with. There is no merit in the writ petition. I do not think that any W.P(c) No. 32942 / 2008 2 further direction is to be issued from this writ petition even to the Munsiff, North Paravoor as O.S. No.52 of 2008 is a new suit wherein steps are to be completed and it has to be rendered ripe for trial and direction to expedite the matter if issued will only work out hardship to all parties to the suit. In the result, I dismiss this Writ Petition. K.P. BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE scm
