HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.25550 OF 2010 Date: October 08, 2010 Between: Maddala Prudhvi Raj Reddy … Petitioner And The Regional Passport Officer, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Passport Office, Secunderabad. … Respondent * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.25550 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 28.02.1993 instead of 29.8.1993 in the passport bearing No.B 1004590. 2. Heard Sri B. Venkateswarlu, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Ponnam Ashok Goud, learned Assistant Solicitor General for the Central Government. 3. In support of his claim, the petitioner had, in fact, enclosed a copy of the Secondary School Certificate issued by the Central Board of Secondary Education, wherein the date of birth of the petitioner has been recorded as 28.02.1993. It appears as though that by sheer inadvertence, the entry relating to his date of birth in his passport bearing No. B 1004590 has been recorded as 29.8.1993 instead of 28.02.1993. 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 29.8.1993 to 28.02.1993 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 Date: October 08, 2010. BSB
