    Court Decision Summary The District Munsif court in Devakottai partially decreed the suit and declared Mr. K. Vengadachalam @ Maruthavanan, missing since September 10, 2008, as civilly dead. The court found that after 17 years of absence with no contact from family, the presumption of death under Section 108 of the Indian Evidence Act applied. However, the court declined to grant a separate mandatory injunction directing authorities to issue a death certificate, holding that government defendants are duty-bound to comply with the court's decree.
