Petitioner had approached this Court seeking for a direction to the respondent to correct his date of birth in the passport. The difference pointed out is 20 years. Petitioner relies upon a certificate issued by the doctor indicating his age. No further materials are available. 2. Having regard to the factual situation involved in this matter, I am of the view that since the difference in the age is about 20 years, this is not a matter which should be decided in a writ petition. Available documents have to be verified by taking evidence in the matter and therefore, only a civil court can give a declaration as sought for.
In the said circumstances, this writ petition is dismissed reserving liberty to the petitioner to approach civil court for appropriate orders.
