Need Help: Address in Passport

Dear LawGurus,

Kindly help me. 

1.  I obtained passport in May 2005 issued by RPO, Mumbai.  I was staying in IIT Bombay since Jan 2002 and as such this passport has my HOSTEL ADDRESS. 

2.  I don't remember if I was asked any proof of my permanent address by RPO Mumbai in 2005.  If so, I would have submitted it.

3. Now I need to change the address in Passport to my PERMANENT ADDRESS.  Accordingly I approached RPO Hyderabad with supporting forms/documents but he refused to accept the form saying I should have submitted proof of permanent address to RPO Mumbai while applying for the passport (i.e., in 2005).
 ( Please check Question No 13 on the link: https://passport.gov.in/cpv/faq.htm)

My questions are:

Q1.  Is the Hyderabad RPO being correct in refusing to accept my application form for change of address because of reason stated in para 3 above?

Q2. Who should I approach for change of address in my Passport?

(Actually I am planning to file RTI application in RPO Hyderabad,  but thought may be someone from legal community can help me out).

Thanks in Advance,

-Habeeb
