ORDER
According to the petitioner, she has two sons and onedaughter and the name of her younger son is Syed Gousha Basha,who was born on 15.10.1990 in St.Annans Maternity Hospital,Jaggaiahpet. At the time of birth, on the basis of informationfurnished by the said hospital, the concerned Registrar recordedthe said birth and issued a Birth Certificate to the petitioner statingthat a male child was born on 15.10.1990. Thereafter, as thedate of birth with name is required, she gave an application tothe respondent-Municipality requesting it to give Date of BirthCertificate to her son Syed Gousha Basha as 15.10.90. However,the same was rejected. Hence, the petitioner approached thisCourt and filed the present writ petition.
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and SriS.Nageswara Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for JaggaiahpetMunicipality.
When a child is born and an application for registration ofbirth is given, the respondent-Municipality cannot expect that thechild is named at the time of birth to see that the said name isentered in the Register of Births. It is only after some time, thechild will be named and thereafter, the name would be shown in therelevant records. It is surprising to note that the respondent-Municipality rejected the said application for extraneous reasons.
Hence, this Court is of the view that the respondent- Municipality ought to have issued a Date of Birth Certificate asrequired by the petitioner.
Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed and therespondent-Municipality is hereby directed to issue Date of BirthCertificate to the petitioner as required. No costs.
Note: Issue CC by one week.(B.O) rkk
