THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P.NO.25858 OF 2005 Dt.5.12.2005 Between: Syed Najeeb … Petitioner And The Revional Passport Officer, Passport Office, Secunderabad. … Respondent ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner has obtained passport bearing No.A6625978 issued on 12.11.1998 valid up to 11.11.2008, but the date of birth was entered as 3.3.1976. It is stated that the actual date of birth of the petitioner is 3.3.1975. The Secondary School Certificate issued by the Board of Secondary Education, Andhra Pradesh goes to show that the petitioner studied in Nizam Boys Town High School, Barkar, Hyderabad with Roll No.0012272 and the date of birth entered in the school register as 3.3.1975 only, but it was wrongly mentioned in the passport as 3.3.1976. Therefore, the petitioner made a representation on 17.11.2005 to the respondent to correct the date of birth in the passport as per the SSC Certificate, but the same has not been considered. If any date of birth is wrongly mentioned in the passport, there cannot be any objection for the respondent to correct the same. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the respondent is directed to correct the date of birth in the passport of the petitioner based on the Secondary School Certificate produced by the petitioner along with his representation dated 17.11.2005 and issue passport to the petitioner showing the date of birth as 3.3.1975 in accordance with the school records within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. _________________ (V.ESWARAIAH, J.) 5.12.2005 kpr
