S.Rahul vs The Deputy Director Of Public on 31 October, 2015
13. As per the unreported decisions of our High Court
in RFA No.947/2013 dated 10-12-2013 (Srinidhi vs.
Government of Karnataka and others), RFA
No.1044/2009 dated 02-01-2013 (Hucheshwara S. Mali
vs. Head Master and others) and RFA No.1994/2013
dated 25-02-2014 (Ms. Shruthi Yellamma vs. Regional
Passport Officer), suit for change of name is maintainable
before the Civil Court, as there is no other provisions or
procedures provided for change of names in the school
records. The plaintiffs are not intended to make any unlawful
gain in filing the present suit seeking change of name.
7 O.S.No.4322/2014
Considering all these aspects I hold that the plaintiffs are
entitled for the decree for changing the name of the plaintiff
No.1 in his school record. Accordingly, I answer the point
No.1 in the Affirmative.
