2.The writ petitioner got married to one Gnanaprakasam Alias Rajesh. Through the wedlock two children were born. The elder child Karuppasamy was born on 02.09.2007 at Thoothukudi. The younger son Mugan was also born at Thoothukudi on 23.08.2010. It is stated that in the birth certificates issued in respect of the children, the father’s name has been mentioned only as Gnanaprakasam.
