V. CHITAMBARESH, J W.P.(C). NO. 26547 OF 2015 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of September, 2015

JUDGMENT

The initials were wrongly added to the name 'Amanda' as 'J.P.' which is sought to be corrected as 'Jayaprakash'. The correction of 'J.P.' as 'Jayaprakash' as regards the initial is for the first time. The adding of 'J.P.' to the name 'Amanda' was not a correction but only an addition of initials. 2.

Ext.P4 order refusing to correct the name of the petitioner's daughter from 'Amanda J.P.' to 'Amanda Jayaprakash' is hereby quashed. The third respondent is directed to correct the birth certificate of the petitioner's daughter as 'Amanda Jayaprakash' within a period of two weeks.

The Writ Petition is disposed of.
