Mr. V.D. Parghi,  learned Additional  Central Government Standing Counsel waives service of rule.    At the  request  of  learned  counsel  for  the  parties the petition is finally heard today.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tThe grievance of the petitioner is that she has applied for passport before the respondent-authority  but the respondent authority refused to accept the application on the ground that the date of birth mentioned in the school leaving certificate does not match with the date of birth noted in the birth certificate. The petitioner states that through inadvertence her  date  of  birth  is  wrongly  mentioned  in the Passport as 12.10.1966 instead of 11.10.1966 which is her correct date of birth as mentioned in her birth certificate issued by the competent authority.  The petitioner has stated that her correct date of birth is 11.10.1966 which is mentioned in the birth certificate and the same is required to be accepted by the respondent authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tIn view of the averments made in the petition, this court is of the opinion that the birth certificate issued by the Municipal authority can be considered as proof of the date of birth and therefore there should not be any difficulty in accepting the application of the petitioner.  Moreover, the respondent authority can also accept and consider other relevant evidence, if any, in support of proof of her date of birth which may be supplied by the petitioner along with the application for passport.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tConsidering the submissions made on behalf of the parties, the respondent authority is directed to accept the application of the petitioner along with the relevant documents and to consider the consider the same for issuance of passport in  accordance   with  law within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of the writ of this court.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tAs  the  respondent  authority   will   have   to      undertake  the  exercise  of scrutinizing the case of the      petitioner afresh because of the default committed by the      petitioner in not placing correct  facts  at  an  earlier      point of  time,  a  sum  of Rs.  5,000\/- is ordered to be      paid by the petitioner to the respondent authority by way      of costs.\n<\/p>\n<pre>6.\tAccordingly  the  petition  is  allowed  to   the      aforesaid extent.
