O R D E R

Heard Mr.S.Thenrajan, Learned Counsel for the Petitoner and Mr. T.M. Pappiah, Learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the First and Second Respondents and perused the materials placed on record, apart from the pleadings of the parties. 2.

This Writ Petition has been filed for the issuance of Writ of Mandamus seeking to direct the Second Respondent to consider the representation dated 04.07.2019 made by the Petitioner.

3.

This Court during the earlier hearing on 27.09.2019 had passed the following self explanatory order:

"The marriage of the Petitioner which had been registered by the Respondents had taken place on 09.02.2012. However, the certificate of marriage has been dated as 09.01.2012. The Petitioner had made a representation for issuance of corrected marriage certificate. As no action has been taken on the same, the Writ Petition has been filed. 2.

Learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the Respondents fairly brings to the notice of this Court that Rule 9 of the Tamil Nadu Registration of Marriage Rules, 2009, provides as follows:- "9. Correction in the Register of Marriages and Certificate of Registration:- Any correction or any omission or mistake in the register of marriages or in the certificate, of registration shall be done by the Registrar after satisfying the genuineness of the correction by a foot-note without any alteration of the original entry and it shall be signed and dated by him." 3.

In view of the aforesaid Rule, the Second Respondent shall consider the representation dated 04.07.2019 and issue corrected marriage certificate and produce the same before this Court on the next hearing.

Post the matter on 31.10.2019."

When the matter is taken up for hearing today, Learned Special Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the Respondents submits that pursuant to the aforesaid order, necessary corrections have been made in marriage certificate of the Petitioner. Nothing survives for further adjudication in this matter.

4.

Recording the subsequent events, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs.
