In a progressive judgment, Supreme Court has allowed an unmarried mother to apply for guardianship of her child without sending a mandatory notice to the father who did not have any ties with the child after its birth. Court has also directed that name of the father may not be made public and may also not be necessary for obtaining child’s birth certificate, passport and for school purposes.

Holding that “the law is dynamic and is expected to diligently keep pace with time and the legal conundrums and enigmas it presents”, SC bench comprising of Justices Vikramjit Sen and Abhay Manohar Sapre overturned a Delhi High Court order which had dismissed the Appeal there without going into the merits and holding that guardinaship cannot be granted without making the natural father a party in the case and serving him.

your query is not clear. who's fathers name is entered? if your fathers name has been entered, it needs to be corrected because he is not the biological father of your son. there can be issues later on for issuance of passports, etc.
