Learned AGP Shri Rohan Yagnik has also submitted that the birth certificate is issued on the basis of the record from the entry in the birth and death register and, therefore, if there are two different dates, it is a matter of appreciation of evidence, which could be considered on the basis of the material and evidence before the competent court.
Though the submissions have been made, it is required to be considered in light of the statutory provisions. As per Section 15 of the Act of , the provision is made for correction and cancellation of an entry in the register of birth and death, meaning thereby, the respondent no.
Rule 11 of the Rules of provides for correction or cancellation of entry in the register of birth and death. Rule 11 4 provides as under Therefore, it clearly provides that if anyone asserts that entry in the register of birth and death is erroneous and the Registrar may correct such entry in such exercise of discretion under Section 15 of the Act of as provided in this Rule upon production of that person a declaration setting forth the nature of error with affidavits of two credible person having known about the fact.
Therefore, when the petitioner claims to make correction in the entry regarding the date and name of the petitioner with supporting documents, there is no reason to decline any such request on the ground as stated in the impugned order. Dave, J. In the said judgment it has been observed in Para No. When concerned authority fails to exercise the power conferred by the statute and the person has legal right under the statute, on demand denied by the authority illegally, for removing such illegality, writ of mandamus can certainly be issued to such authority to act in accordance with the provisions of the statute.
Section 15 of the Act of , read with Rule 11 of Rules of provide for the detailed procedure as held by the two Division Bench of this High Court, where proof to the satisfaction of the Registrar that any entry of birth and death in any register kept by him under this Act is erroneous in form or substance or has been fraudulently or improperly made, he may, subject to such rules as may be made by the State Government with respect to the conditions on which and the circumstances on which such entries may be corrected or cancelled correct the error or cancel the entry by suitable entry in the margin, without any alteration of the original entry and shall sign the marginal entry and add thereto the date of the correction or cancellation.
The above procedure envisages that competent authority namely Registrar or designated authority can hold reasonable inquiry to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the entry sought for and if it is proved to his satisfaction about entry being erroneous in form or substance or has been fraudulently or improperly made subject to the provisions of rules and regulations the powers can be exercised.
A useful reference can also be made to the observation of this Court reported in 2 GLH , wherein it has been observed that Section 15 read with Rules 11 4 and 11 5 give this power to the Registrar and in fact, it cast obligation upon the Registrar to make such correction after having been satisfied on the basis of the documentary evidence to make correction. Therefore considering the aforesaid settled legal position, the present petition deserves to be allowed.
In the circumstances, the present petition stands allowed in terms of Para No. The impugned order dated The respondent no. When you were born in Nepal the court cannot order the authorities to incorporate India as your country of birth in your passport.

I just cited you in this article that I think you will find of interest. Your piece was very good. I think that it only lacked the part I added regarding non-economic passports. What do you think? I was born in in Kuwait to a Syrian father and a Lebanese mother. Until this day, Kuwait does not give Kuwaiti citizenships to any foreigners born there. I had a Syrian passport up until when I became a naturalized US citizen.
However, my naturalization certificate indicated Kuwait as my birthplace and subsequently that has followed me all of my life. I do not identify with Kuwait, and the reverse is true, in any way shape or form.
How do I get out of this? Why does an American need to have their birthplace indicated on their passport? It makes no sense whatsoever. It seems like I will never be free of this association with Kuwait when Kuwait wants nothing to do with me. In fact, and the ironic thing is, I need a visa to visit Kuwait. Almost all countries have birth place indicated on their passports, even Kuwaiti passport, Syrian passport and Asian passports.
Citizen of Taiwan and Taiwanese are two separate things. You are born in Kuwait to a Syrian father and a Lebanese mother. You are half Syrian and half Lebanese. If your parents were Syrian and Lebanese citizens, you should have gotten the passports by birth.
