Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.
Mr. Hari Mohan Bhatia, Advocate, for the petitioner.
Mr. Atul Bhatt, Central Govt. Standing Counsel, for the respondents.
(2) According to petitioner, his date of birth has been wrongly recorded in his Aadhar Card, however his request for correction of date of birth is not being entertained by the respondents. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has sought the following relief:
“(I) Issue a writ
order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to update the Aadhar Card of the petitioner and change the date of birth of the petitioner in the Aadhar Card No. 4180 9623 4979 from 14.11.2006 to 14.11.2005 in view of pending Application URN No. 0872/02773/00004.”
(3)
Learned Counsel for the respondents submits that updation in Aadhar Card is permissible only once; petitioner had earlier applied for correction of his date of birth and his request was granted in 2017 and thereafter he again applied for making change in the date of birth, as recorded in the Aadhar Card, in 2024, which was also granted. He submits that as per the internal circular, issued by Unique Identification Authority of India, no further opportunity can be given to the petitioner for correction of the information given in the Aadhar Card.
(4)
Learned Counsel for the
2025:UHC:9305 petitioner submits that if incorrect date of birth remains in the Aadhar Card, it will create a lot of problem for the petitioner for his entire career. He submits that petitioner be permitted to make a representation to the competent authority, who may be directed to take decision thereupon.
(5) Writ petition is, accordingly,
disposed of with liberty to petitioner to make representation to respondent no. 1 within two weeks from today. If petitioner makes such representation within stipulated time, decision thereupon shall be taken within six months thereafter.
(6) Till decision is taken on petitioner’s representation, online application made by the petitioner shall not be closed.
