KCC 103/2019

This case involved a request by a woman who had custody of her daughter that her daughter should have been added to a citizenship application and for her daughter's formal documents. A key issue was whether the request for the formal documents should have been considered by the administrative department of the court.

Background

A claimant filed a case against the defendants before the court. She requested the court to order the second defendant to add the name of her daughter to a citizenship application he had submitted to the other defendants. She also requested the court to order the defendants to hand her all her daughter's formal documents. She said that the daughter was in her custody and that the defendants had failed to issue her a citizenship certificate.

The court ruled that the daughter should be added to the citizenship application and that the defendants should hand over all her formal documents.

The defendants appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
