Hello,

1) There is no reason why the appointing authority should object to your changing the name.If the Appointing Authority refuses to give permission you can write to the Appointing Authority seeking an explanation as to why this can not be permitted. Once you get the reason, you can write to the concerned department head and the ministry seeking approval for the name change as there is a provision for the change of name for an employee of the government.

2) If there is a disagreement on this or the Authorities that you write to refuse permission further, you have the option to file a Writ Petition in the concerned High Court seeking its direction to intervene and order the concerned department to allow the name change under provisions.
