HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO W.P. No.10456 of 2009 O R D E R:- This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare the action of the respondent-Regional Passport Officer, in not entertaining the petitioner’s application dated 14.05.2009 for correction of his date of birth as 16.08.1987 as per the Secondary School Certificate instead of 16.09.1987, in the petitioner’s passport bearing No.H3203521, as arbitrary and illegal, and consequently direct the respondent to correct his date of birth as 16.08.1987 as per the Secondary School Certificate instead of 16.09.1987. The learned counsel for both the parties have fairly conceded that the issue that arises for consideration in this writ petition is squarely covered by a judgment of this Court in Durgempudi Venkata Raghava Vs. Passport Officer, Hyderabad[1]. Therefore, this writ petition is also liable to be disposed of in terms of the said judgment. Accordingly, following the aforesaid judgment, this writ petition is also disposed of directing the petitioner to file fresh application enclosing all the copies of certificates, which are being relied upon by him, before the respondent, within a period of one month from today, and the respondent is directed to take into consideration the said certificates, and after verifying the same, pass appropriate orders in this regard within a period of one month thereafter. No order as to costs. __________________ B. PRAKASH RAO, J. 28th May, 2009 bcj [1] 2005(1)ALD 710
