Change of surname in passport

Sir,

I have omiited to mention that my father is no more now.

you just give a representation letter explaining allthose things and attach all the relavent documents along with it and send it to the possport authority.  after waiting for 30 days again send a letter under RTI which means Right to Information Act,2005 and get the information what has been happened to your representation letter and the procedures they following. 3o days limit for that. if no action was found then approch the high court in your state and file a mandamus peition to direct them to change your father name. your representation copy should be produced to the court so retain a copy of that while sending to the authorities.

Thank you very much for the reply...
