1 Wp6382-10 dmt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6382 OF 2010 Ramesh R. Rohra. .. Petitioner. Vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. Respondents. Mr. J.M. Puranik for petitioner. Ms. M.P. Thakur, AGP., for respondent nos. 1 & 2. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & U. D. SALVI, JJ. NOVEMBER 23, 2010. P.C. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner at length and in our view the appropriate remedy for him is to file a civil suit for declaration that the entry made in the Death Register giving his mother’s name as Savitri B. Wadhwa is illegal and void ab initio. 2. Hence, the petition is disposed off by relegating the petitioner to the remedy of a civil suit. If such a civil suit is filed within four weeks from today, the same will be decided on its own merits expeditiously. In 2 Wp6382-10 case an application under Section 15 of the Registration of Birth and Deaths Act, 1969 is presently pending with respondent no. 2, we direct that the same be decided as per law within four weeks from today.
