Legal Issues & Help

Hi All,

The name changing procedure in India is very simple. Just need to

make an affidavit before a 1st class Magistrate and advertisement regarding name change in a news paper.

But where these procedure is specified? I mean, the Civil procedure code talks about only affidavit under section 139. Can anybody help me in this?
