ADV. SRI.S.SUBHASH CHAND SC,THIRUVALLA MUNICIPALITY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 1856 OF 2010 (F) ===================== Dated this the 21st day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are husband and wife. The second petitioner gave birth to a female baby on 23/11/92 in the Thiruvalla Medical Mission Hospital. In the hospital records, petitioners' names were entered as Varghese Joseph and Salis Varghese. The Hospital reported the birth to the Municipality and accordingly entries were made in the register. On that basis, Ext.P3 birth certificate was issued with the erroneous names of the parents of the child, who are the petitioners herein. When the petitioners came to know of this, at their instance, the Hospital itself has issued Ext.P6 to the respondent informing of the mistake. Thereafter, petitioners themselves have made Ext.P9 application as well. The complaint in the writ petition is that despite all this, Municipality has not considered Exts. P6 and P9 along with the documents produced by the petitioners and correct the records and issue the birth certificate with the corrected names. 2. I heard the standing counsel appearing for the respondent also. WPC 1856/10 :2 : 3. If Exts.P6, P9 and other documents have been produced by the Hospital and the petitioner, necessarily, the respondent has to consider the same and pass orders thereon. Having regard to the pendency of the above, I dispose of this writ petition directing the respondent to consider Ext.P9 in the light of the other documents already produced before it. Orders on Ext.P9 shall be passed as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 10 days of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
