1. This hearing has been done through hybrid mode.

2. The Petitioner-Mr. Swaraj Singh Kohli who is the son of Mr. BS Kohli and Mrs. DK Kohli has filed the present petition seeking rectification of his date of birth in the passport. His case is that inadvertently when his uncle applied for his passport, the date of birth was wrongly recorded as 5th October, 1999. The actual date of birth of the Petitioner is 14th September, 1999.

3. In support of his petition, the Petitioner relies upon his Election Photo Identity Card, Aadhar Card, Birth Certificate, School ID Card, CBSE Grade Sheet-cum-Certificate, Bar Council Provisional Identity Card, etc. The Petitioner submits that he has applied for change of his date of birth, however, despite repeated reminders, the Petitioner has not received the rectified passport. Hence, it is prayed that the passport authorities be directed to rectify the date of birth in the passport and issue the passport immediately.
