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

This question turns on a single specific number, so it helps to fix why that number was chosen and then rule out the other candidate numbers offered in the options.

1. Purpose of the timeline: the Uniform Civil Code Rules, Uttarakhand, 2025 build in escalation timelines so that applications relating to legal heir declarations do not sit indefinitely with a Registrar who fails to act, giving a higher authority, the Registrar General, the power to step in.
2. The actual period fixed: the Rules give the Registrar thirty days from receipt of the application to take action, if this period lapses without action, the application is automatically forwarded to the Registrar General.
3. Why ten and fifteen days do not fit: both of these are shorter windows than the one actually fixed by the Rules, they do not correspond to any escalation trigger under this scheme.
4. Why none of the above fails: this option would only be correct if none of the numeric options matched the Rules, but thirty days does match, so this residual option is eliminated.

Fixing the actual escalation period at thirty days, and checking it against the shorter periods offered, confirms that thirty days is the period the Rules prescribe.

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

Answer 2

Since three of the four options are simply different numbers of days, this question can be approached as a process of ranking the candidate periods from shortest to longest and checking which one actually matches an administrative escalation rule of this kind.

1. Ten days, the shortest option: this would be an unusually tight window for a Registrar to process an application relating to legal heir declaration before automatic escalation, and it does not correspond to the period actually fixed by these Rules.
2. Fifteen days, the middle option: while longer than ten days, this period also falls short of what the Rules actually allow the Registrar before the matter is escalated.
3. Thirty days, the longest numeric option: escalation clauses of this kind typically allow a reasonably full month for the primary authority to act before a supervisory authority is brought in, and this is in fact the period the Uniform Civil Code Rules, Uttarakhand, 2025 prescribe, if the Registrar has not acted within thirty days, it is forwarded to the Registrar General.
4. None of the above: this can only be correct if the true period were something other than ten, fifteen, or thirty days, since thirty days is in fact the period fixed by the Rules, this option is eliminated.

Working through the candidate periods from shortest to longest and matching each against the actual escalation clause shows that thirty days is the period the Rules use.

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