ORDER:
The prayer in the [writ ][petition itself ][is ][vague' ][The ][petiti''oner]has prayed for [renewal/reissue ][of ][the ][petitioner's passport ][by]the [petitioner's date of ][birth ][as ][per the Aadhaar Card ][and]changing Pein Card but has [also ][simultaneously ][prayed for renewal of passport]without effecting any [change ][to ][the ][petitioner's date ][of ][birth' ][The]Court is unable [to ][understand ][the ][prayer.]
2. The impugned document [d'ated ][24 ]'O9 '2024 [issued ][by ][the]Passport Seva Kendra [contains ][the ][remarks ][of ][the ][Granting ][O{hcer']The remark is to [the ][effect ][that ][the ][petitioner's passport ][is ][kept ][on]hold for the [petitioner ][to ][submit ][two ID's ][with ][corrected ][details ][along]withotherdocumentspertainingtothepetitioner'schangeofnarrre.
3. Even on the [documents ][pointed ][out ][by ][learned ][counsel]for [the petitioner, ][it ][is evident ][that ][the date of ][birth ][on the]appearing petitioner's expired [passport ][is ][06.06'1950 ][whereas ][the ][documents]at Ex.P4 reflects [the ][date of ][birth ][as ][O6'O6' ][1966']
4. The discrepancy [in ][the two ][dates ][of ][birth is ][obvious ][and ][the]Court sees [no reason rvhy ][the petitioner should not ][produce relevant]documents before [the ][passport ][authorities ][for ][renewal ][of ][passport]with a correct date [of ][birth.]
