Please advice me how I can change name of my child in birth certificate?

Name of the child cannot be changed in the birth certificate once it is registered and any corrections in spelling can be made as one time relief.

For name change you have to get it published in the government gazette

Aslo, Can I file Section 420 against my wife and her parents for giving wrong information to government?

There is no cheating done by them hence no such case is maintainable against them.

As per Adv. Mathew's advice, If I did procedure (making affidavit, publish in news paper) (point 1 to 3), then I can apply for for change of name in birth certificate. Is it right what I understood?

Then also you cannot change the name in the birth certificate. You can keep the gazette copy together with other documents as a proof of change in name.

Or I need to do all procedure (point no 1 to 8) then I will get Birth Certificate with new name??

Any effort taken by you shall not entitle you to get a changed birth certificate.

In KDMC notice borad, it is written that " Name on Birth Certificate can not be change".

So If I did above procedure, then I can change name in Birth certificate. Right.?

NO

Or KDMC need court order to change name in birth certificate?

Court will not entertain any petition for change of name in the birth certificate.

You can change the name by publishing the same in the government gazette publication alone and this will not cannot change the name in the birth register.
