JUDGMENT :

(Prayer: Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, for issuance of a writ of certiorarified mandamus calling for the records of bearing No.216/2020 dated 07.10.2020 passed by the respondent herein and quash the same and further direct the respondent to carryout necessary amendment in the marriage certificate No.121/2020 as prayed for by the petitioners in their representation dated 22.10.2020 and issue a fresh marriage certificate.)

1. This writ petition has been filed challenging the order dated 07.10.2020 passed by the respondent rejecting the petitioners’ request for amendment of their marriage certificate which was issued by the respondent on 12.11.2010. The petitioners have sought for amendment of their marriage certificate, since the names mentioned in the marriage certificate are not in accordance with their passport. However, under the impugned order, the request of the petitioners seeking amendment was rejected only on the ground that there is no provision under the Tamil Nadu Registration Act, for carrying out amendment of marriage certificate. Aggrieved by the same, this writ petition has been filed.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioners
