PATEL DILIPKUMAR JAYANTILAL Vs. STATE OF GUJARAT

JUDGEMENT

(1.) RULE . Mr.P.P.Banaji, learned Assistant Government Pleader waives service of notice of Rule for respondent No.1. Respondent No.2 has been served with the notice of this Court, but has not chosen to put in an appearance. As respondent No.2 does not appear to be interested in the proceedings before this Court, there is no necessity of issuing notice of Rule to him. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and with the consent of learned counsel for the respective parties, the petition is being heard and decided finally.

(2.) THIS petition under Article226 of the Constitution of India has been preferred by the petitioner, with the following prayers:

(3.) ACCORDING to the petitioner, he was born at village Veda, Taluka Kalol, District Gandhinagar, on 19.05.1981. It is his case that due to an inadvertent mistake, his date of birth has been wrongly recorded as 19.08.1981 in the record. The other documents of the petitioner, such as the School Leaving Certificate and Driving Licence, have the correct date of birth inscribed upon them. The petitioner made an application to respondent No.2 for correction of the date of birth. By the impugned order dated 01.09.2014, respondent No.2, TalaticumMantri, has rejected the application of the petitioner on the ground that he has no power to make corrections in the record pertaining to the date of birth of the petitioner. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing the present petition.
