The petitioner obtained passport bearing No.H 4362719 from the respondent. His date of birth has been recorded in the passport as 07.01.1983.

It is contended by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that since the mistake is only a typographical, the respondent is empowered to correct the same in view of the guidelines issued by the Ministry of

¶18

External Affairs in Circular dated 29.10.2007. It is also contended by him that this Court directed the respondent in similar writ petitions to entertain the application for correction of date of birth. Reliance has been placed on the decision of this Court in Arshiya Jabeen vs., The Regional Passport Officer (W.P.No.21156 of 2010) and . Mohd. Nasrullah Khan v.
