Kukkar is classy..why pooja gaurav? Anyways name change procedure depends on state to state basis. Get an affidavit done, submit it to relevant govt authority and get it published in a national newspaper. Rajyapaal thing is funny, the guy probably wasn’t even a lawyer.
Prabably because Kukkar sounds like Cooker. Anyway, to my knowledge, you need to have an affidavit prepared, signed, and sworn to before a notary. Once that is done, make an announcement of that in the newspapers. I don’t think there is a statutory procedure prescribed. This Rajyapal thing is definitely tell tale. Imagine going to the Governor for a name change.
Dodo- Was sarcastic abt the kukkar thing :-)
