HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.22716 OF 2009 Dated 19-10-2010 Between: Mohammed Khaled. …. Petitioner. And: The Regional Passport Officer, Office of the Regional Passport Office, Near Prashant Theatre, Clock Tower, Secunderabad, A.P. ….Respondent. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.22716 OF 2009 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 of the petitioner as 21-09-1977 instead of 08-09-1976 in the passport bearing No. G 3939125 and also to correct the entry relating to the spelling of his father’s name as “Fakeer Mohammed” in stead of “Faqeer Mohammed”. Heard Sri Bajrang Singh Thakur, learned counsel for the petitioner. It appears as though that by sheer inadvertence, the entry relating to the date of birth in the passport of the petitioner bearing No. G 3939125 has been recorded as 08-09-1976 instead of 21-09-1977 and also the entry relating to the spelling of his father’s name has been recorded as “Faqeer Mohammed” instead of “Fakeer Mohammed”. 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 W.P.No.19376 of 2007. By the judgment rendered on 21-9-2007, this Court directed the respondents to receive the application of the petitioner for making the necessary correction of the entries of the date of birth of the petitioner. In the facts and circumstances stated above, I direct the respondent to receive the application of the petitioner for making the necessary correction of entries of the date of birth of the petitioner from 08-09-1976 to 21-09-1977 and also for making the necessary correction of the entries in the spelling of his father’s name from “Faqeer Mohammed” to “Fakeer Mohammed” and issue the revised or corrected passport within a further period of 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. With this, the writ petition stands disposed of at the stage of admission, but however, without costs. ______________________________________ Justice NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO Dated 19-10-2010.
