Ms. Shivani vs. State of HP and another
CWP No. 16789 of 2024
09.01.2025 Present: Mr. Sparsh Bhushan, Advocate, for the petitioner.
Mr. Rajat Chauhan, Law Officer, for the respondents- State.
CMP No. 1073 of 2025
This is a decided case. By way of this application, the applicant prays that as her name in the memo of parties of the writ petition is mentioned as Ms. Shivani, whereas in the official record, her name is Kumari Shivani, therefore, this application be allowed and the applicant be permitted to carry out necessary corrections in the memo of parties and the order passed in the writ petition dated 01.01.2025 be also corrected accordingly.
Having heard learned Counsel for the applicant, this Court is of the considered view that there is no need to correct the name of the applicant in the memo of parties as prayed for, for the reason that as it hardly matters as what name of the applicant is mentioned in the writ petition and what is her name as per official record, as there is no dispute that Ms. Shivani, i.e. the name mentioned in the writ petition and Kumari Shivani, the name of the petitioner as per official record, happens to be the one and the same person. However, it is observed that the representation of the petitioner shall be decided by the Authority on merit and the Authority will not defy the order
