In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on the application for correction of the birth register submitted by the petitioner in accordance with the dictum laid down in Varghese's case (supra) as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
