Death Certificate

Guest (Querist) 13 March 2011 This query is : Resolved
I want to know that is it lawful for a government department to demand a blank signed paper from the applicant for getting registered the death of his relative and for issuing a death certificate. Actually such formality has been made mandatory by a government department (municipal Corporation) and i myself (being a lawyer) thing this demand to be illegal and unlawful.

it is unlawful to take the blank paper signed by any one in this regard. you can ask them that first print the paper than i have no problem in signing that as you are also a lawyer and this is your right to ask from the public officer that you have any written order in this regard.

no government authority is empowered to get signature in blank papers. What is the need for them to get papers in issuing death certificate
