In such circumstances, if date of<br \/>\nbirth is recorded wrongly in birth register and correctly in school<br \/>\nleaving certificate, then, petitioner shall have to approach both<br \/>\nrespondents authorities as per decision of Division Bench of this<br \/>\nCourt in case of Regional Pass Port<br \/>\nOfficer v. Kokilaben reported<br \/>\nin 2009(2) GLR 1246.\n<\/p>\n<p>The relevant Para 9 to 12 are quoted as under :\n<\/p>\n<p> 9.\t\tWe<br \/>\nmay indicate that Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 was<br \/>\nenacted to provide for births and deaths and matters connected<br \/>\ntherewith, which came into force with effect from 1.4.1970.  Chapter<br \/>\n3 of the Act provides for registration of births and deaths and<br \/>\nSection 13 is pertaining to delayed registration of births and<br \/>\ndeaths.  Sub-section (3) of Section 13 empowers a Magistrate of the<br \/>\nFirst Class to pass an order in case if birth or death is not<br \/>\nregistered within one year by its occurrence.  Initial registration<br \/>\nof births and deaths within a period of one year remain with the<br \/>\nauthority as provided under sub-section (1) and sub-section (2) of<br \/>\nSection 13 of the Act.  Section 15 of the Act deals with correction<br \/>\nor cancellation of entries in the register of Births and Deaths.<br \/>\nSection 15 of the Act, read with Rule 11 of the Gujarat Registration<br \/>\nof Births and Deaths Rules, 2004 provides for detailed procedure to<br \/>\nbe followed.  It says where it is proved to the satisfaction of the<br \/>\nregistrar that any entry of a birth or death in any register kept by<br \/>\nhim under this Act is erroneous in form or substance, or has been<br \/>\nfraudulently or improperly made, he may, subject to such rules as may<br \/>\nbe made by the State Government with respect to the conditions on<br \/>\nwhich and the circumstances in which such entries may be or cancel<br \/>\nthe entry by suitable entry in original entry, and shall sign the<br \/>\nmarginal entry and add thereto the date of the correction or<br \/>\ncancellation.  Thus, it is clear that if it is proved to the<br \/>\nsatisfaction of the Registrar that entry being erroneous in the<br \/>\nregister of births and deaths, and it has been fraudulently or<br \/>\nimproperly made, he can make a report giving necessary details to the<br \/>\nofficer authorized by the Chief Registrar by general or special order<br \/>\nin this behalf under Section 25 of the Act and on hearing from him,<br \/>\ntake necessary action in the matter.  Learned Single Judge of this<br \/>\nCourt in Nitaben Nareshbhai Patel Vs. State of Gujarat   2008 (1)<br \/>\nG.L.R 884 elaborately considered the scope of above mentioned<br \/>\nprovisions, and the learned Single Judge also examined at length the<br \/>\nprovisions of Gujarat Secondary Education Act, 1972 and Gujarat<br \/>\nSecondary Education Regulation, 1974.  With regard to the change of<br \/>\ndate of birth entered in the school record, referring to Regulation<br \/>\n12(A), it was stated that if the student has actually left the<br \/>\nschool, no change can be effected in the record of the school.  For<br \/>\nmaking a change in the name, as provided under Regulation 12(5)(1),<br \/>\nan application in prescribed proforma with certain documents as<br \/>\nnarrated in Regulation 5(1)(A) to (D) are required to be submitted.<br \/>\nRegulation 12(6) deals with correction of date of birth, which is<br \/>\npermissible only when student is studying in the school, and<br \/>\nthereafter it can be corrected by the concerned Magistrate of First<br \/>\nClass, upon proof of correct birth date.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tReference<br \/>\nmay also be made to the order passed by the Division Bench of this<br \/>\nCourt in Letters Patent Appeal No. 699 of 2003 in Special Civil<br \/>\nApplication No. 8122 of 2003, decided on 11.8.2003 (unreported). In<br \/>\nMinor Jagdishbhai Prabhatbhai Gohil Vs. State of Gujarat and others,<br \/>\nreferring to Gujarat Secondary Education Regulation, this Court took<br \/>\nthe view that the only remedy available to the party with regard to<br \/>\ncorrection of date of birth\/place of birth is to approach the<br \/>\nauthority for redressal of his grievance as provided under Section 13<br \/>\nof the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.\tThe<br \/>\nabove discussion would amply show that for carrying out correction of<br \/>\ndate of birth or place of birth or name, powers have been conferred<br \/>\nunder the Act on the Registrar as well as the Judicial Magistrate, as<br \/>\nthe case may be, and also Magistrate First Class when the correction<br \/>\nis sought to be made in school record, which is governed by Gujarat<br \/>\nSecondary Education Act, 1972 and Regulation framed thereunder.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.\tWe<br \/>\nare therefore, clearly of the view that Passport Authorities are not<br \/>\nexpected to make their own independent enquiry when there is a<br \/>\ndispute or difference with regard to the date of birth, place of<br \/>\nbirth or name entered in the Passport, especially when entries were<br \/>\nonce made on the basis of records produced by  the Passport holder.<br \/>\nIf there is any mistake on the records already produced, based on<br \/>\nwhich entries were already made, then it is for the  party who seeks<br \/>\ncorrection to produce documents after carrying out necessary<br \/>\ncorrection by the concerned statutory authorities, Judicial<br \/>\nMagistrate or the Civil Court, as the case may be.  Passport<br \/>\nAuthorities are always competent to direct the parties to produce<br \/>\nrelevant documents either from the authorities functioning under the<br \/>\nBirths and Deaths Register or from the Judicial Magistrate or from<br \/>\nthe Civil Court, as the case may be. On production of corrected<br \/>\ndocuments, Passport Authorities will immediately carry out necessary<br \/>\ncorrection in the Passport.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIn<br \/>\nview of above observations made by Division Bench of this Court, let<br \/>\npetitioner may approach the respondents authorities by filing<br \/>\ndetailed representation with supporting documents within a period of<br \/>\ntwo weeks from the date of receiving copy of present order.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tAs<br \/>\nand when respondent Nos.2 and 3 received such representation from<br \/>\npetitioner, it is directed to respondent Nos.2 and 3 to consider it<br \/>\nand also consider decision given by Division Bench of this Court as<br \/>\nreferred above and thereafter to pass appropriate orders, correcting<br \/>\ndate of birth in birth register after scrutinising the documents<br \/>\nwhich may be placed by petitioner on record, within a period of one<br \/>\nmonth from the date of receiving such representation from petitioner<br \/>\nand communicate the decision to petitioner immediately.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIn<br \/>\nview of above observation and direction, present petition is disposed<br \/>\nof by this Court without expressing any opinion on merits.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tDirect<br \/>\nservice is permitted.\n<\/p>\n<p>[H.K.\n<\/p>\n<p>RATHOD, J.]<\/p>\n<p>#Dave<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Patel vs State on 23 August, 2010 Author: H.K.Rathod,&amp;Nbsp;
