Siddegowda vs Govt of Karnataka — 263/2025

JudgmentView PDF

The court dismissed Siddegowda's suit seeking declaration that his correct name is "Siddegowda" rather than "Kenchaiah" in government records. While the court found the plaintiff proved his correct name through documentary evidence (study certificate, ration card, family Aadhaar cards), it held the suit was not maintainable because: (1) he sought only bare declaration without consequential relief for actual record correction, violating Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act; (2) he failed to implead necessary parties (UIDAI, Income Tax Department, Election Commission) whose records he sought to challenge; and (3) the court lacked direct jurisdiction to order correction of revenue, Aadhaar, PAN, and voter ID records. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
