HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.24013 OF 2010 Date: September 28, 2010 Between: Shaik Sirajunnisa @ D. Sirajunnisa … Petitioner And The Regional Passport Office, Represented by the Passport Officer, Secunderabad. … Respondent * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.24013 OF 2010 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 03.6.1981 instead of 15.7.1984 in the passport bearing No.F0167104. 2. Heard Sri M. Arjuna Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri B.V. Ramanarresh Kumar, learned Standing Counsel for the Central Government. 3. In support of her claim, the petitioner had, in fact, enclosed a copy of the birth certificate issued by the Proddutur Municipality, Kadapa District, wherein the date of birth of the petitioner has been recorded as 03.6.1981. It appears as though that by sheer inadvertence, the entry relating to her date of birth in her passport bearing No. F0167104 has been recorded as 15.7.1984 instead of 03.6.1981. 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 petitioner. 4. In the facts and circumstances stated above, I direct the respondent to receive the application of the petitioner for making necessary correction of entries of the date of birth of the petitioner from 15.7.1984 to 03.6.1981 and issue the revised or corrected passport within a further period of 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. 5. With this, the writ petition stands disposed of at the stage of admission, but however, without costs. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J
