registered before the S.R.O at Pammal vide Doc.No.1105/2008. It is further stated that the birth certificate of the child reflects the name of the biological father and mother. Hence, the petitioners submitted a representation dated 23.07.2018 to the respondents to amend the birth certificate and record their names in the column of 'father' and 'mother' of the child.
