If his child was born outside of the UK, the father can't apply directly for their British passport. The child will first have to register on form MN1 and this can take up to a year to be processed. Only once the registration is approved can the passport be applied for.

Casa i think 2nd Child appears to qualify under section 2 (1). There us no need to do MN1. If passport application is taking long, or will be open to them to apply for Pakistani citizenship and get a certificate of entitlement of a right of abode.
