THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No : 24735 of 2010 O R D E R: This writ petition has been instituted seeking directions to the respondent – Regional Passport Authority to correct the entry relating to the father’s name of the petitioner as ‘Sahab Niyamath Khan Sahab’ instead of ‘Shahab Khan’ in the passport bearing No. G- 4434587. Heard Sri Harsh Kuma Astana, learned counsel for the writ petitioner. In support of his claim, the petitioner had, in fact, enclosed a copy of the birth certificate issued by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, wherein the father’s name of the writ petitioner has been recorded as Sahab Niyamath Khan Sahab. It appears as though that by sheer inadvertence, the entry relating to her father’s name in her passport bearing No.G-4434587 has been recorded as Shahab Khan instead of Sahab Niyamath Khan Sahab. 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 WP 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 writ petitioner. In the facts and circumstances stated above, I direct the respondent to receive the application of the writ petitioner for making the necessary correction of entries of father’s name of the petitioner from Shahab Khan to Sahab Niyamath Khan Sahab 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. ---------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J 5th October 2010 Rns .....
