(Prayer: Writ Appeals filed under Clause 15 of Letters Patent against the order dated 19.02.2021 made in W.P.No.880 of 2021.)

1. The Birth and Death Section of the Greater Chennai Corporation, has preferred this intra-court appeal against the order of the learned single Judge dated 19.02.2021 made in W.P.No.880 of 2021, directing them to correct the error in the Birth Certificate of the first respondent/writ petitioner and issue a fresh Birth Certificate.

2. The name of the first respondent herein, who is the writ petitioner, is ‘Malleswari’. Excepting her Birth Certificate, which is now in question, where her name has been wrongly spelt as Maheswari, in all the other documents of the respondent herein, namely the Passport, School Leaving Certificate, Aadhar Card and other revenue records, her name is spelt as Malleswari.

3. It appears that the name of the first respondent herein has been entered as Maheswari instead of Malleswari, which would only be a typographical error, which went unnoticed.
