Jaswantlal Panchal &amp; Ors<br \/>\n\treported in 2009 (2) GLR 1246.  The relevant para 9 to 12 are quoted<br \/>\n\tas under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 9.\tWe may<br \/>\nindicate that Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 was enacted<br \/>\nto provide for births and deaths and matters connected therewith,<br \/>\nwhich came into force with effect from 1.4.1970.  Chapter 3 of the<br \/>\nAct provides for registration of births and deaths and Section 13 is<br \/>\npertaining to delayed registration of births and deaths.  Sub-section<br \/>\n(3) of Section 13 empowers a Magistrate of the First Class to pass an<br \/>\norder in case if birth or death is not registered within one year by<br \/>\nits occurrence.  Initial registration of births and deaths within a<br \/>\nperiod of one year remain with the authority as provided under<br \/>\nsub-section (1) and sub-section (2) of Section 13 of the Act.<br \/>\nSection 15 of the Act deals with correction or cancellation of<br \/>\nentries in the register of Births and Deaths.  Section 15 of the Act,<br \/>\nread with Rule 11 of the Gujarat Registration of Births and Deaths<br \/>\nRules, 2004 provides for detailed procedure to be followed.  It says<br \/>\nwhere it is proved to the satisfaction of the registrar that any<br \/>\nentry of a birth or death in any register kept by him under this Act<br \/>\nis erroneous in form or substance, or has been fraudulently or<br \/>\nimproperly made, he may, subject to such rules as may be made by the<br \/>\nState Government with respect to the conditions on which and the<br \/>\ncircumstances in which such entries may be or cancel the entry by<br \/>\nsuitable entry in original entry, and shall sign the marginal entry<br \/>\nand add thereto the date of the correction or cancellation.  Thus, it<br \/>\nis clear that if it is proved to the satisfaction of the Registrar<br \/>\nthat entry being erroneous in the register of births and deaths, and<br \/>\nit has been fraudulently or improperly made, he can make a report<br \/>\ngiving necessary details to the officer authorised by the Chief<br \/>\nRegistrar by general or special order in this behalf under Section 25<br \/>\nof the Act and on hearing from him, take necessary action in the<br \/>\nmatter.  Learned Single Judge of this Court in Nitaben Nareshbhai<br \/>\nPatel Vs. State of Gujarat   2008 (1) G.L.R 884 elaborately<br \/>\nconsidered the scope of above mentioned provisions, and the learned<br \/>\nSingle Judge also examined at length the provisions of Gujarat<br \/>\nSecondary Education Act, 1972 and Gujarat Secondary Education<br \/>\nRegulation, 1974.  With regard to the change of date of birth entered<br \/>\nin the school record, referring to Regulation 12(A), it was stated<br \/>\nthat if the student has actually left the school, no change can be<br \/>\neffected in the record of the school.  For making a change in the<br \/>\nname, as provided under Regulation 12(5)(1), an application in<br \/>\nprescribed proforma with certain documents as narrated in Regulation<br \/>\n5(1)(A) to (D) are required to be submitted.   Regulation 12(6) deals<br \/>\nwith correction of date of birth, which is permissible only when<br \/>\nstudent is studying in the school, and thereafter it can be corrected<br \/>\nby the concerned Magistrate of First Class, upon proof of correct<br \/>\nbirth date.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tReference may<br \/>\nalso be made to the order passed by the Division Bench of this Court<br \/>\nin Letters Patent Appeal No. 699 of 2003 in Special Civil Application<br \/>\nNo. 8122 of 2003, decided on 11.8.2003 (unreported). In Minor<br \/>\nJagdishbhai 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 above<br \/>\ndiscussion would amply show that for carrying out correction of date<br \/>\nof birth or place of birth or name, powers have been conferred under<br \/>\nthe Act on the Registrar as well as the Judicial Magistrate, as the<br \/>\ncase may be, and also Magistrate First Class when the correction is<br \/>\nsought 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 are<br \/>\ntherefore, 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>Thereafter,<br \/>\n\tto pass appropriate reasoned order in accordance with law within a<br \/>\n\tperiod of three months from date of receiving copy of representation<br \/>\n\tfrom petitioner and communicate decision to petitioner immediately.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tview of above observation and direction, present petition is<br \/>\n\tdisposed of by this Court without expressing any opinion on merits.<br \/>\n\tDirect service is permitted.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(H.K.RATHOD,<br \/>\nJ)<\/p>\n<p>asma<\/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 5 August, 2010 Author: H.K.Rathod,&amp;Nbsp;
