Rule. Mr.N.J.Shah for Mr.D.N.Patel for
respondent No.1 waives service of rule. With the consent
2. The contention raised by the petitioner is that the passport is already issued. However, the birth-date initially in the passport is recorded as 28.7.1981 whereas the correct birth-date is 27.7.1981. The petitioner submits that an application is made to the Passport Officer, however, the authorities have declined to consider the same in the absence of any order passed by this court.
3. On behalf of Passport authorities it has been submitted that earlier on the basis of School Leaving Certificate passport has been issued. If this court directs the passport authorities, they will consider the matter.
4. Mr.Pandya for the petitioner submits that in similar matters this court has passed orders giving directions to the passport authorities to reconsider the matter and to pass appropriate orders and thereafter to incorporate necessary correction in the passport already issued or to issue fresh passport.
5. In view of the above, the respondent No.1 is directed to consider the case of the petitioner for change in birth-date from 28.7.1981 to 27.7.1981 in the passport of the petitioner bearing No.B-2742542 on the basis of birth certificate issued by Vadodara Municipal Corporation and to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. The respondent authorities shall take decision within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of writ of this court. However, the petitioner shall pay costs of Rs.2,500/- to the respondent authorities since the passport authorities can not be saddled with the costs of litigation. Petition is allowed accordingly. Rule is made absolute.
Direct service is permitted.
