Section 13 Registration of Birth and Death Act | Delayed Death Registration Beyond One Year Requires SDM Order, Not Local Certificates : Allahabad HC
Allahabad HC reinforces statutory compliance under the Registration of Birth and Death Act, holding that delayed death registration (beyond one year) mandatorily requires an SDM order. Local certificates or affidavits cannot bypass this legal requirement, affecting families seeking posthumous documentation for inheritance, pension, or property disputes.
