THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.19886 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was issued a date of birth certificate by the Municipal Corporation indicating the date of birth as 06.06.1970. The same date was carried in several records including the passport. Recently, the petitioner felt the necessity of going to U.S.A and accordingly applied for Visa. According to the certificate issued by the Hospital in relation to the birth of the petitioner, it is mentioned as 06.06.1972. Therefore, the petitioner submitted a representation to the Municipal Corporation with a request to correct the entry in the date of birth certificate. The same was rejected, on the ground that the application does not accord with the prescribed procedure. Hence, this writ petition. The petitioner states that even according to the entries in the revenue records maintained by the Corporation, the date of birth is 06.06.1972 and there is no basis for rejection of the application. In the counter affidavit, it is admitted that the date of birth of the child of Renuka and Gopal i.e., the parents of the petitioner at R.B.S.B. Hospital is 06.06.1972. However, it is stated that the application of the petitioner is incomplete. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner had enclosed not only the certificate issued by the Hospital but also certain other records. Once it emerges that the records of the Corporation also contain a different date, necessary steps ought to have been by issuing the corrected certificate. The respondents cannot stand on hyper-technicalities. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall consider the matter afresh with reference to the entries in their records and issue fresh certificate within two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner shall be under obligation to furnish all the documents in support of her claim. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 03.12.2009 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.19886 of 2009 Date: 03.12.2009 JSU
