2. To be referred to the Reporters or not?

3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a direction for acceptance of his nomination for the ensuing Gram Panchayat elections by treating him as Sunil Dutt son of Bhur Singh though as per the identity card issued by the Election Commission of India, his name is Daya Ram son of Bhura Ram which is his actual name also. According to the petitioner, when he was got admitted in the School, the Headmaster of the School recorded his name as 'Sunil Dutt son of Bhur Singh'. That mistake continued in the academic certificates till the petitioner passed matriculation examination in the year 1983.
