"BIOLOGICAL FATHER'S NAME CAN BE DELETED FROM A MINOR CHILD'S PASSPORT: DELHI HIGH COURT" The Delhi High Court has ordered the passport authority to remove the name of a biological father from a minor child's passport, as the father had deserted the child before he was born and had given up all his rights. The court noted that there are various situations in cases of marital discord where a child's passport application may need to be considered by authorities, and no hard and fast rule can be applied. The court rejected the argument that the rule only applies to single, unwed parent and clarified that the language used in the clause is merely regarding the single parent. The court stated that this order shall not be treated as a precedent.
