John does not change his name officially. But on shifting to Shimla, he poses himself to be Abraham. He stays there for 5 years; obtains ration card and driving licence also. Can he be prosecuted for any offence. Is there any law relating to registration of Name, Change of Name, prohibition on change of Name without following a certain legal procedure.

You can change your name officially by publishing in Gazette.

Only when you deceive any body with that name and taking a sheild of your the real name, can be treated as a criminal offense.

Practically many persons are having two names. One is pet name and another is on record name and yer another name is astrological name.

So, as long as no cheating is involved, using some other name is not a criminal offense.

agree with Mr. Arunagiri, i want to know, what is his intention ?

Advocate. Arunagiri (Expert) 27 December 2010
The author's intention is to know the legal consequences if using some other name instead of his own name on record.

What the author had told is purely a imaginary situation.
