Question

Under the Uniform Civil Code Rules Uttarakhand, 2025, when is an application for declaration of legal heir(s) forwarded to the Registrar General?

• A. After ten days of receipt if the Registrar does not take action
• B. After thirty days of receipt if the Registrar does not take action
• C. After fifteen days of receipt if the Registrar does not take action
• D. None of the above

Hint:

For UCC Uttarakhand procedural questions, carefully memorize statutory timelines. Here: \[ \boxed{30 \text{ Days}} \] is the key figure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The Uniform Civil Code Rules, Uttarakhand, 2025 establish procedural timelines to ensure speedy processing of applications relating to declarations of legal heirs.

Step 1: Prescribed timeline under the Rules.

• The Registrar is expected to process the application within the prescribed period.

• If no action is taken within thirty days of receipt, the matter is forwarded to the Registrar General for appropriate action.

Step 2: Purpose of the provision.

• Prevents administrative delays.

• Ensures accountability of registration authorities.

• Provides a higher-level supervisory mechanism.

No action for 30 days $\Rightarrow$ Forward to Registrar General.

Answer 2

The question asks about the specific time period after which an unactioned application for declaration of legal heirs is forwarded to the Registrar General under the Uniform Civil Code Rules, Uttarakhand, 2025. Each option states a different period, so each can be tested against the actual period fixed by the Rules.

1. After ten days of receipt if the Registrar does not take action: ten days is too short a window for this kind of administrative escalation under these Rules, the period actually fixed for the Registrar's inaction to trigger forwarding is longer than this.
2. After thirty days of receipt if the Registrar does not take action: this matches the period the Rules actually prescribe, if the Registrar has not acted on the application within thirty days of receiving it, the matter is escalated to the Registrar General for appropriate action.
3. After fifteen days of receipt if the Registrar does not take action: fifteen days is also shorter than the period the Rules actually fix, it does not correspond to the escalation timeline under this scheme.
4. None of the above: since one of the three specific periods listed, thirty days, does correctly state the Rules' timeline, this residual option cannot be correct.

Ten days and fifteen days are both shorter than the period actually prescribed, and since a genuine period is stated correctly among the options, none of the above is also ruled out. Only thirty days matches the escalation timeline fixed by the Rules.

So the correct answer is after thirty days of receipt if the Registrar does not take action.
