Dated this the 17th day of December, 2008.
JUDGMENT
The petitioner seeks correction of his
date of birth in his passport and has submitted
Ext.P3 before the Regional Passport Officer. It
is now pending. The competent authority has to
deal with such application without awaiting for a
declaration from the competent authority.
After hearing counsel for the petitioner
and learned counsel for the respondent, the writ
petition is disposed of directing the 2nd
respondent to consider and pass appropriate
orders on Exts.P3 and if the request is found to
be maintainable, necessary correction shall be
made in the petitioner’s passport. Needful shall
be done within one month from the date of receipt
of a copy of this judgment. The 2nd respondent
shall take note of Ext.P4 also while dealing with
Ext.P3.
