https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=464633 Section 13(3) of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 requires delayed registration of a birth or death, after one year, only on an order of a Magistrate of the First Class or a Presidency Magistrate following verification of correctness. The Karnataka amendment to Rule 9 substituted an Assistant Commissioner for that statutory judicial authority, thereby changing the mechanism fixed by the Act. Because delegated rule-making under Section 30 must remain within the parent enactment and cannot contradict a mandatory statutory provision, the amendment was treated as inconsistent with the Act and therefore ultra vires, illegal, and void. en-us Mon, 17 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 11:53:58 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=464633 Section 13(3) of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 requires delayed registration of a birth or death, after one year, only on an order of a Magistrate of the First Class or a Presidency Magistrate following verification of correctness.
