SR.GOVT.PLEADER SMT.K.R.DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 1724 OF 2010 (M) ===================== Dated this the 19th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner's complaint is that on Ext.P7 application made by her to the 2nd respondent seeking correction of her name, orders have not been passed. According to the petitioner, she was born within the limits of the 1st respondent Panchayat where her birth has been registered under the Births and Deaths Registration Act. It is stated that however, her name has been mistakenly entered as Raisa Jose instead of Raisa Jose Kalaparambath. It is stated that she thereafter made Ext.P1 application for necessary correction. But however certificate was issued again showing her name as Raisa Jose. Again petitioner sought correction of her name as Raisa Jose Kalaparambath by submitting Ext.P7 producing SSLC Book, Passport and Election ID card. Order on Ext.P7 has not been passed and therefore the writ petition is filed. 2. Petitioner says that unless the correction is allowed, she will not be able to travel abroad and take up employment. The fact that the respondents have power to effect correction in the records has been recognized by this Court in Varghese v. WPC 1724/10 :2 : Director of Panchayat (2008(2) KLT 278) and therefore it is for the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P7 and pass appropriate orders as sought for by the petitioner. 3. Having regard to the pendency of Ext.P7, it is directed that the 2nd respondent shall consider Ext.P7 in the light of the documents produced by the petitioner and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 10 days of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
