RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ============================== WP(C) No. 11581 of 2009 ============================== Dated this the 30th day of June, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner applied for correction of the name of his daughter, who was born on 5.2.2002 and whose name has been included in the register of births and deaths maintained by the first respondent as `Heena', instead of `Heera'. The said mistake in the spelling is one that needs to be corrected as held by this court in Girijan V. Registrar of Births and Deaths(2003 (2) KLT 22) and other cases. 2. The respondents have filed counter affidavit relying on certain circulars. I have considered the rival arguments and I find that the petitioner is entitled to the relief sought for. 3. In the result, it is ordered that Ext.P1 application will be taken up and orders issued carrying out the rectification in the records, as sought for by the petitioner. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/30/6
