TRIBHOVANDAS Versus UNION OF INDIA & ANR. -------------------------------------------------------------- Appearance: 1. Special Civil Application No. 11636 of 2001 MR PRADEEP PATEL for Petitioner No. 1 MR NJ SHAH for MR DN PATEL for Respondents -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE Y.B.BHATT Date of decision: 14/12/2001 ORAL JUDGEMENT 1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. Rule. Mr. N.J. Shah for Mr. D.N. Patel, learned Standing Counsel, appears and waives service of Rule on behalf of respondent nos. 1 and 2. 3. The short controversy on the facts of the case, and the grievance of the petitioner, arise from the fact that according to the petitioner, the birth date reflected in the passport issued to him is not the correct birth date. Although the petitioner has presented ample material to show that his correct birth date is 1st May, 1952, the birth date shown in the passport is 1st June, 1952. The petitioner attempted to get his birth date in the passport corrected, but, the respondents have not effected the necessary correction apparently on the ground that the respondents have no authority to do so. 4. However, as a result of hearing and discussion, by consensus between the learned counsel for the parties, it is directed that the respondents shall consider the present petition as a representation on the subject, and decide the same preferably within one month of the service of the order. If the respondents are satisfied as to factual data upon which this entry is sought to be corrected, the concerned respondent shall carry out the necessary correction. It is, accordingly, so directed. 5. In view of the aforesaid directions, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the grievance made in the petition no longer survives. The petition is, therefore, disposed of. Rule is discharged. No order as to costs. Direct service is permitted. (Y.B. Bhatt, J.) kamlesh*
