While so, one V.S.Raji, S/o Subramani, who was a widower, having three daughters, approached the parents of the petitioner to marry the petitioner as his second wife. By consent of parents and relatives of both sides, their marriage was solemnised during the year 1993 and the said V.S. Raji adopted the daughter and son of the petitioner, as per the Hindu rites and customs. Out of the wedlock between the petitioner and the said Raji, the petitioner gave birth to another female child namely Sriranjani. Later, the petitioner's elder son Thangaraj died in a road accident during the year 2010. The petitioner treated all the daughters as her daughters and gave education to them, according to their wish. On 12.05.2021, the petitioner's husband V.S.Raji died and his father Subramani also died on 04.07.2021. His mother (mother-in-law of the petitioner) Boopathy is alive. The petitioner gave a representation to the second respondent on 12.07.2021 to grant legal heirship certificate by including all the legal heirs (7 members). When making application for the said legal heir certificate, the petitioner enclosed a declaration given by her husband Raji, while contesting the Assembly Election, in which, the petitioner was indicated as his wife. Inspite the production of several documentary evidence, the second respondent passed the order dated 15.07.2021, rejecting the request of the petitioner to issue legal heir ship certificate. Hence, this writ petition.
