3.It is the case of the first petitioner that she is the
adopted daughter of one Balthasar and the second petitioner.
They adopted her on 26.12.2001 from OLF Hospital at Porumamilla,
Kadappa District, Andhra Pradesh as per the customs, but they
did not execute an adoption deed. All these years, the first
petitioner was under the care and protection of their adopted
parents. While so, on 19.02.2015, the said Balthasar died
intestate, leaving behind his adopted daughter/first petitioner,
his wife/second petitioner and his mother Therasammal.
Thereafter, in order to grab the properties and fixed deposits
owned by him, one J.S.Albert, who is the uncle of the first
petitioner, stated to have obtained a legal heir certificate of
the deceased, without adding the first petitioner's name
therein. Hence, the first petitioner made a representation dated
22.02.2021 enclosing all the necessary documents, wherein, the
name of the deceased 'Balthasar' was specifically mentioned as
her father and requesting to include her name as well, as one of
the legal heirs of the deceased. Finding no response on the
same, the petitioners have come up with this writ petition for
the aforesaid relief.
