O R D E R

Mr.E.Balamurugan, learned Special Government Pleader takes notice for the respondent. By consent of the parties, the main writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.

2.

3. It is seen that the Birth Certificate issued to the petitioner by the Greater Chennai Corporation dated 15.09.2017 has already been verified and authenticated by the Under Secretary to the Government, Public (Foreigners) Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, Chennai on 19.09.2017. Now, the petitioner seeks for appending the name of the Under Secretary, who verified and authenticated the Birth Certificate, as the same is required by the Consulate of the other Country. Since it is seen that already the Under Secretary has verified and authenticated the Birth Certificate issued to the petitioner, there will not be any impediment for appending the name of the Under Secretary, who authenticated the said Certificate as required by the petitioner.

4. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of, only by directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner and append the name of the Under Secretary, who verified and authenticated the Birth Certificate. Such exercise shall be done by the respondent within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
