Google news yields many colorful anecdotes about the excesses of red tape around the world making entertaining, and sometimes useful, reading. Such is the case of the Court judgment in Chennai (India) condemning a city council for refusal to register a death on the grounds that the cause of death was not clear enough.
In a helpful report, the Times Of India article summarizes the legal reasoning upheld by the judge, who criticised the local authority for driving the citizen "from pillar to post". Such ultra vires attitudes are unfortunately far too common, as highlighted by the "I paid a bribe" campaign already reported here.
