This query is : Resolved
My son's name has been changed by gazette notification by my wife without my consent.
Does this amount to violation of the existing laws?
We both living seperately for the past 12 years. Divorce petition is pending before the court.
The name change form has been attested by a gazetted officer. Kindly advise what kind of legal action I can initiate in this situation?

The act on the part of your wife may come within the ambit of cruelty upon you.

You can move to the authorities (Gazatte)for cancellation/addundum of the changed name without your consent, if the minor is in your guardianship, care and custody, otherwise move to the Court and seek appropriate injunction/writ.
