T.D.Muthuraman, v. the Tahsildhar
Case brief
What is this about?
This order disposes of a writ petition under Article 226 seeking a Legal Heir Certificate. The Court held that since the Tahsildar is not a court, their order rejecting the application and directing the petitioner to the Civil Court cannot be faulted. The petitioner must approach the Civil Court to establish adoption.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition stands disposed of with no costs awarded. The petitioner is to approach the Civil Court to prove adoption.
