Special Civil Application No. 6865 of 2004 MR PRADEEP PATEL for Petitioner No. 1 DS AFF.NOT FILED (R) for Respondent No. 1 RULE SERVED BY DS for Respondent No. 2 -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE D.N.PATEL Date of decision: 25/06/2004 ORAL JUDGEMENT The present petition has been preferred under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, for change in the date of birth of the petitioner in the passport, which is yet to be issued. 2. Learned Counsel appearing for the respondent authority submits that the present petition is premature in nature, and no such error, as envisaged by the petitioner, has been committed by the respondent authority. This is nothing but a sheer mistake on the part of the petitioner for getting his passport issued. 3. Looking to the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, the respondent authority is directed to issue the passport, on the basis of a fresh application being submitted by the petitioner with the corrected date of birth and on submission of necessary documents, which may be verified by the respondent authority. As the passport has not been issued, the petition is premature in nature and hence, it is dismissed. Rule discharged. (D. N. Patel, J.) pravin/
