ANILBHAI RAMESHBHAI MACHHI vs BIRTH AND DEATH OFFICER SHRI, JAMBUSAR NAGAR PALIKA — 82/2025

JudegementView PDF

Case Summary: RCS 82/2025 Court Decision: The court granted the petitioner Anilbhai Rameshbhai Machhi's petition and ordered corrections to his birth and school records. The court declared that the petitioner's correct surname is "Machhi" (not "Kikiya"), his mother's correct name is "Shantaben" (not "Shanti"), and his correct caste is "Hindu Machhi" (not "Hindu Kharva"). The Birth Officer was ordered to correct the birth register accordingly, and the School Principal was ordered to issue a corrected School Leaving Certificate with the proper name and caste information. Key Reasoning: The court found that substantial documentary evidence (Aadhar cards, voter IDs, passports) consistently showed the correct names and caste, while the official records contained clerical errors. Under the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1969 Section 15, authorities have wide powers to correct erroneous entries substantive or formal errors—not merely typing mistakes. No administrative circular can override statutory provisions when genuine documentary evidence supports corrections.
