Father's name not must for passport:HC

Justice Manmohan of the Delhi High Court observed that justbecause the software of the passport office didn't accept a single parent's applications, it cannot become a legal requirement. The Delhi high court has held that in certain cases, mother's name is sufficient for a child to apply for a passport , especially because a single woman can be a natural guardian as well as a parent. The judge earlier in the week has directed the regional passport office to accept applications of single mothers as well.
