ORDER

The writ petitioner's grandfather/Veerakumaran passed away on 25.08.1998. The petitioner wants death certificate for the same. The petitioner moved the learned Judicial Magistrate, Musiri by filing C.M.P.No.1343 of 2003. It was ordered on 20.06.2003. However, the date of death was registered as 25.08.1988. It was obviously an error. The petitioner wants the said error to be corrected. It is now stated by the learned Additional Government Pleader that it is only the Revenue Divisional Officer who can now carry out the said correction.

2.Since there does not appear to be any dispute on the basic facts, the second respondent is directed to carry out the correction and issue the corrected death certificate to the writ petitioner. This shall be done within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 3.The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. 11.08.2022 Index : Yes / No Internet : Yes/ No ias 2/4
