Case Summary: CRL. MISC. NO. 8/2026 Court Decision: The Principal Civil Judge & JMFC at Srirangapatna allowed the petition and directed the Tahsildar (Registrar of Births and Deaths) to register the death of Sri. Thammegowda @ Gorakegowda S/O Doddasiddaiah, who died on 24.10.1982 at Arakere Village, and issue a death certificate upon receipt of the requisite late registration fee. Key Reasoning: The court found that petitioners (the deceased's legal heirs) sufficiently proved their claim through: (1) non-availability certificate confirming the death was never registered; (2) notarized genealogical tree establishing their relationship to the deceased; (3) newspaper publications in two Kannada dailies as required by Karnataka High Court precedent; and (4) the absence of any contradictory evidence from the respondent, who appeared *ex-parte*. The court held that failure to register a death cannot be denied merely because no original registration occurred.
