IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE EIGHTH DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2427 of 2008 Between: Y.Subrahmanyam ..... PETITIONER AND The State of A.P., rep by its the Chief Registrar (Births & Deaths) Department of Medical and health (Vital Statistics) Hyderabad and another .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2427 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to set aside the proceedings, dated 05.02.2008 issued by respondent No.2 whereby he rejected the request of the petitioner to issue date of birth certificate for his son, by name, Yellepeddi Srinivasa Krishna Mohan. Heard Sri G.Ramesh Babu, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Govt.Pleader for the 1st respondent. Sri V.B.Subrahmanyam, learned counsel for respondent No.2, on whom notice was served, was not present. Since the issue raised in this writ petition is squarely covered by final orders passed by this Court in many writ petitions, this writ petition is being taken up for disposal today. Sri G.Ramesh Babu, learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to orders, dated 29.06.2007 passed in W.P.Nos.13714 and 13684 of 2007, dated 21.06.2007 and 27.02.2007 passed in W.P.Nos.12972 of 2007 and 3739 of 2007, in which this Court considered the issue raised in the said writ petitions, namely, refusal to issue birth certificate on the ground that the application was filed beyond the time limit prescribed under Rule 10 of Andhra Pradesh Registration of Births and Deaths Rules, 1999 (for short ‘the Rules’). In all the said orders, it is held that respondent No.2 ought to have considered the application on merits therein and entered the names of their children in the certificates after satisfying himself as to their identity, despite the fact that applications were filed beyond the time limit of 15 years stipulated under Rule 10 of the Rules. Having carefully perused the said orders and the averments contained in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, I am satisfied that the petitioner raised the issue, which is identical to the issues raised in the said writ petitions and that the said orders squarely cover the issue raised in the present writ petition. In view of the above, this writ petition is also disposed of in terms of the said orders with the direction that the same shall be read as part of this order. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dated: 08.02.2008 Dsr
