Correction of Date of Birth in the passport

Associate R (Querist) 24 October 2008 This query is : Resolved
In order to correct the place of birth in the passport, passport authorities have asked to produce a declaratory order from the Judicial Magistrate First Class. I want to know under which section of the Criminal Procedure Code, the application should be made to get a declaratory order from the Court. Please guide.

Regards!
