    Case Summary: WP 5993/2024 The High Court of Bombay (Nagpur Bench) dismissed Sanjay Uikey's writ petition challenging the Municipal Corporation's refusal to correct the name in a death certificate from "Dashrath Lakhma Uike" to "Dashrath Shivaji Uike." The Court held that establishing whether both names refer to the same person requires evidence, which falls outside the scope of writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. The petition was disposed of with liberty to pursue appropriate proceedings in a competent forum. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
