Case 19/2026 Summary The court rejected an application for late registration of a death under the Births and Deaths Registration Act. The applicant sought to register his father's death with the Gram Panchayat, which had not been registered due to inadvertence. The court found that the 2023 amendment to Section 13(3) of the Act shifted jurisdiction for delayed registrations from Judicial Magistrates to District Magistrates, Sub-Divisional Magistrates, or authorized Executive Magistrates, thereby divesting the Judicial Magistrate's authority to entertain such applications.
