ORDER:
The petitioner, in effect, seeks a direction to the respondent to receive herapplication and consider it for issuing fresh passport with her correct date of birth as23.03.1974 as per her school certificate.
The grievance of the petitioner is that in the passport obtained by her on 23.12.2000her date of birth was wrongly recorded as 23.03.1976 instead of 23.03.1974 andwhen she filed an application before the respondent for correction of her date of birthin the passport, the respondent refused to entertain the application. Hence, the writpetition.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel forrespondent.
The petitioner has not filed any material before this Court to show that she has filedan application before the respondent for correction of her date of birth in the passportissued to her on 23.12.2000 and the respondent refused to receive the same.Therefore, I am of the view that this writ petition is premature one.
In view of the same, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs.
However, the petitioner is at liberty to file an application along with relevantmaterial before the respondent for correction of her date of birth in the passportissued to her on 23.12.2000, and on filing such an application, the respondent is atliberty to consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance withlaw.
