Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1874

Interim registrars.

25. If any superintendent registrar dies, resigns, or otherwise ceases to hold his office, his deputy shall be interim superintendent registrar.

Every interim superintendent registrar shall act as superintendent registrar and have all the powers and perform all the duties and be subject to all the obligations of a superintendent registrar until another is duly appointed.

The provisions of this section shall apply to a registrar in like manner as if it were enacted with the substitution of the word registrar for superintendent registrar.

If a registrar for any sub-district dies, resigns, or otherwise ceases to hold his office, and there is no interim registrar, then the superintendent registrar shall, when so required by the Registrar General, appoint an interim registrar for such sub-district.
