Digitally integrate details of all properties, PAN, Aadhaar, and other IDs of a person with death certificate: Karnataka High Court
The High Court of Karnataka has said that whenever any application is filed before the Registrar of Births and Deaths (RoBD) for death certificates of any person, the details of all the properties which are in the name of such person should be automatically fetched from the database of the sub-registrar's office and the Revenue Department, should be made available to the RoBD.
Even the records in hospitals regarding the births and deaths should also be integrated with the RoBD, the court said.
Identity details
The court also said that the identity details, like PAN, Aadhaar, electoral ID, and other identity cards that may be available, should also be made available and integrated with the database of the RoBD.
Justice Suraj Govindaraj passed the order while dealing with a case of one Mahadevaiah of Tumakuru, who had obtained the death certificate of his mother several years after her demise by giving a false date of death — ten years prior to her actual death, even though she had died in 1985.
The court directed the Principal Secretaries of the departments of E-governance, Revenue, Urban Development, and Municipal Administration to come out with the plan within six weeks to integrate these details.
False memo
The court also found that Mahadevaiah had obtained an order from the Lok Adalat for the issuance of the death certificate in the absence of revenue authorities by presenting a false 'joint memo' before the adalat, giving the impression that the revenue authorities had accepted his claim on the mother's death certificate.
On securing the death certificate, which stated that his mother had died in 1975, he had questioned the sale deed executed by her in 1979 in favour of one Siddalingaiah. The falsification of the year of death came to light during the litigation between Siddalingaiah and Mahadevaiah.

Two, including lawyer, arrested for running fake GST companies
New Delhi: Two men, including an advocate, were arrested for allegedly running a racket involving bogus GST firms and issuing fake bills to facilitate fraudulent GST settlements. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to police, the scam came to light when a resident of Sagarpur filed a complaint at the South West Delhi's cyber police station. "The complainant alleged that while applying for a GST registration using his PAN card, he discovered that two GST numbers had already been issued in his name without his knowledge or consent. These GST numbers were being used to operate different trading firms, and a SIM card had also been issued using his Aadhaar card. The complainant claimed that the firms were conducting high-value transactions, causing significant reputational and financial damage to him," DCP (South West) Amit Goel said. A case was registered, and an investigation was initiated. With these leads, a police team mounted technical surveillance and examined credentials linked to the fraudulent GST accounts. "Based on location tracking, raids were conducted in Panipat and adjoining areas of NCR, leading to the arrest of the first accused. During his interrogation, he revealed that he worked under an advocate based in Burari," the DCP added. Based on this, the police team traced the advocate, who had absconded to Kairana in Uttar Pradesh after learning about his associate's arrest. He was eventually tracked and arrested. "During the probe, cops found that genuine documents such as PAN cards, Aadhaar cards, rent agreements, SIMs, and email IDs were being misused to create fake GST firms. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These firms were then used to issue fraudulent bills for GST settlements. The accused would obtain firm details from associates in Delhi, who sold them the login credentials and supporting SIM cards for Rs 25,000–Rs 30,000 per firm," a senior police officer said. "Once in control of these credentials, the duo would update the mobile numbers and email addresses linked to the GST accounts and begin operating them. Using software, they generated and uploaded fake invoices to the GST portal." One of the arrested men is a 27-year-old from Panipat, Haryana, who studied up to Class 12 and worked with an advocate for seven years. He primarily handled the technical aspects, logging into the bogus GST accounts, changing credentials, and preparing the fake bills. His associate, a 45-year-old advocate from Burari, arranged the procurement of GST firms through hisnetwork and oversaw their operation.
