Dear All
My grandmother was died in 2011 and on the death certificate issued by Municipal Corporation mentioned the name "Godavari" and on the property documents the name has mentioned i.e. "Kuasalybai" now we will going for the change in name in death certificate they said we dont have a power to change the name on death certicate without direction of the court. In this case i want to know under whose jurisdiction power is vested to give direction to the MC. whether it is in the power of JMFC or Civil Court. Kindly guide us what action to be taken in this case.

Municipal Corporation has endorsed the same name as you have mentioned in the application form, you should have checked.
There is a sky difference between the names "Godavari" and "Kausalybai", which you will have to agree, therefore, it can not be covered under the guise/pretext of typographical error, accordingly the stand/decision of corporation is very right.
File a suit for declaration in the court of Senior Civil Judge through a local prudent lawyer.
