High court intervention forced correction of Vikas Dubey death record

The High Court in Uttar Pradesh intervened after Richa Dubey filed a petition highlighting the mismatch in her husband's death records. The court affirmed that the wrong father's name on the body disposal slip violated procedural norms. Following the court's order, the local registrar amended the record and released Dubey's death certificate, concluding a six‑year delay that had plagued the family.
