HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.25629 of 2010 Date: October 08, 2010 Between: Prudhvi Sridhar … Petitioner And The Regional Passport Office, Secunderabad. … Respondent * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.25629 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition has been instituted seeking directions to the respondent – Regional Passport Authority to correct the entry relating to the date of birth of the petitioner as 31.8.1990 instead of 30.8.1989 in the passport bearing No.B 2128733. 2. Heard Sri Mohd. Zakir Hussain, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri P. Ashok Goud, learned Assistant Solicitor General for the Central Government. 3. In support of his claim, the petitioner had, in fact, enclosed a copy of the secondary school certificate issued by the Board of Secondary Education, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, wherein the date of birth of the petitioner has been recorded as 31.8.1990. It appears as though that by sheer inadvertence, the entry relating to his date of birth in his passport bearing No. B 2128733 has been recorded as 30.8.1989 instead of 31.8.1990. Such corrections being insignificant and inconsequential, they are required to be carried out upon being satisfied about the genuineness of the claim in that regard. In fact, this very question has been considered in great detail in WP No. 19376 of 2007. By the judgment rendered on 21.9.2007, this Court directed the respondent to receive the application of the petitioner for making the necessary correction of the entries of the date of birth of the petitioner. 4. In the facts and circumstances stated above, I direct the respondent to receive the application of the petitioner for making necessary correction of entries of the date of birth of the petitioner from 30.8.1989 to 31.8.1990 and issue the revised or corrected passport within a further period of 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. 5. With this, the writ petition stands disposed of at the stage of admission, but however, without costs. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J Date: October 08, 2010. BSB
