Heirs not residing in tahsildar’s jurisdiction can’t be ground to deny family tree: Karnataka High Court
The Karnataka High Court held that the residence of heirs outside a tahsildar’s jurisdiction cannot be used to reject a family‑tree application. The bench clarified that jurisdictional limits on heir location do not invalidate the petitioner’s claim to a genealogical record, reinforcing that procedural technicalities should not impede legitimate requests for family‑tree certification in the state.
