IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANTONY DOMINIC FRIDAY, THE 29TH JANUARY 2010 / 9TH MAGHA 1931 WP(C).No. 2820 of 2010(B) ------------------------- PETITIONER(S): --------------- K.VIJAYAN.H.NO.299 (TC-4/2239(14), KAIRALI NAGAR, KURAVANKONAM,THIRUVANANTHAPURAM-3. BY ADV. SRI.M.G.KARTHIKEYAN RESPONDENT(S): --------------- THE BIRTH AND DEATH REGISTRAR, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM CORPORATION,THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. MR.P.K.MANOJ KUMAR, SC FOR CORPORATION THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.2820 of 2010 (B) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 29th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T Heard both sides. 2. The name of the petitioner's minor daughter was entered in the Register maintained under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 as 'Goutami'. According to the petitioner, on the basis of the entry in the birth register, her name is similarly entered in the school register as well. Realising that as against the 2nd letter 'o' the correct letter is 'a', the petitioner made an application to the respondent for correction of such mistake. On receipt of the application, Ext.P2 communication has been issued calling upon the petitioner to produce school records to substantiate the application for correction. 3. As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner, in the school records, name of the student has been entered on the basis of the birth certificate and therefore, production of the school records will not be of any relevance. In WP(C) No.2820/2010 -2- that view of the matter, I am inclined to think that the stand taken by the respondent in Ext.P2 is erroneous. Therefore, I quash Ext.P2 and this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the application made by the petitioner without insisting on production of school records as sought for in Ext.P2. Orders on the application shall be passed as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
