The Gujarat High Court reprimanded Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) officials for their negligence in correcting a mistake in the death certificate of the husband of a senior citizen.

The court directed the AMC’s Deputy Municipal Commissioner to appear before it and apologise for the delay.

The high court sharply criticised the official during the hearing of the case, stating that ‘they have not used their brains’. For four months, a senior citizen woman has been frequently visiting the AMC and the civil hospital, stated the court.

The Deputy Municipal Commissioner of the south zone who appeared before the court apologised and assured that he would make the necessary corrections to her husband’s death certificate and that such incidents would not happen in the future.

Despite the court’s earlier order to correct the certificate, AMC employees continued to harass the woman and send her to the Civil Hospital.
