SRI.C.M.SURESH BABU, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/04/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.12266 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 13th day of April, 2007. JUDGMENT Prayer in the W.P. is for direction to the respondent to permit the petitioners to change the name of their child and to issue fresh Birth Certificate. It is very common that name of a child is not coined or fixed immediately on it's birth. It is upto the parents to give a suitable name to the child before it is admitted to the school. In the circumstances, I direct the respondent to change the name of the petitioners' child in the Birth Register and issue fresh Birth Certificate in the new name applied for within a period of two weeks from the date of production of copy of this judgment by the petitioner. The W.P. is disposed of as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
