JUDGMENT
1. Petitioners’ complaint is that in the register maintained
by respondents 3 and 4, their dates of birth have been
wrongly entered. It is stated that though they made
applications to respondents 3 and 4 seeking correction, the
applications were not accepted and therefore they moved
Exts.P1 and P2 representations before the 2nd respondent. It
is also submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners
that the 2nd respondent has forwarded Exts.P1 and P2 to
respondents 3 and 4 and that the applications are pending
consideration of respondents 3 and 4.
2. If as stated a mistake has been committed in the entry
regarding the dates of birth of the petitioners, it is open to
the petitioners to seek its correction before the concerned
Registrar of Births and Deaths which insofar as the 1st
petitioner is concerned is the 3rd respondent and insofar the
2nd petitioner is concerned is the 4th respondent. If Exts.P1
and P2 have been received by respondents 3 and 4, they shall
W.P.(C).2309/10
2
take necessary action on such applications. If the said
applications have not been received, it is clarified that it will
be open to the petitioners to make appropriate applications
before the aforesaid respondents in which event respondents
accept the applications and deal with the same in accordance
with law, as expeditiously as possible.
3. Petitioners shall produce a copy of the judgment along
with the copy of the writ petition before respondents 3 and 4
for compliance.
ANTONY DOMINIC,
Judge
