J U D G M E N T
The petitioner is the mother of a child by name Halmo. J. The
names of the child as well as the parents have been wrongly entered
in the birth register. The name of the child is shown as Abaty. J.
Jude. The name of the father is shown as Jood. R. The name of the
mother is shown as Jesso Jood. The father of the child is Jayan A.R.
although his pet name is Jude. The mother of the child is Jesso. G. It
has been entered as Jesso Jood in the birth register. The petitioner
seeks appropriate correction in the birth register and issue of a
corrected birth certificate. The petitioner’s grievance is that the 2nd
respondent is insisting on an order of this Court for considering her
application.
2. I have heard counsel for the 1st respondent also, who does
not dispute the fact that as per the decision of this Court in
Varghese v. Director of Panchayat, 2008(2) KLT 278, such
corrections can be made.
3. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of
with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate
orders on the application for correction of the birth register submitted
by the petitioner in accordance with the dictum laid down in
Varghese’s case (supra) as expeditiously as possible, at any rate,
within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
