Special Civil Application No. 4012 of 2002 MR JAL SOLI UNWALA for Petitioner No. 1 MR DN PATEL for Respondent No. 1 -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE P.B.MAJMUDAR Date of decision: 12/04/2002 ORAL JUDGEMENT #. Rule. Mr.Patel waives service of rule for the respondents. With the consent of the parties, the matter is taken up for final hearing today. #. The petitioner has already applied to the passport authority for the purpose of correcting his birth date and his application is annexed at page 28. However, in the said application, no date is mentioned. Mr.Unwala states that the said application is sent by Registered Post A.D. The petitioner is permitted to make one more representation in detail. However, the said representation is to be made to the passport authority for the purpose of change of birth date. The passport authority may decide the same in accordance with law after considering the evidence on record and may pass appropriate order. It is needless to say that the passport authority may take appropriate decision without undue delay in this behalf. Since the petitioner has not taken care earlier by producing cogent material, the petitioner is directed to pay costs of Rs.2000/- (Rupees two thousand only). The said amount of costs is to be deposited with the passport authority at the time of making the representation. #. In view of what is stated above, this petition is allowed. Rule is made absolute to the aforesaid extent with costs as quantified above. D.S.Permitted. (P.B.Majmudar,J) (pathan)
