respectively and the petitioner had received the death certificates from the concerned authorities. Pursuant to the availing of death certificate, she applied for a legal certificate through e-sevail portal, where Aadhar number is mandatory. However, as she is a permanent resident of USA, she does not possess an Aadhar and thus, the petitioner submitted a representation on 19.07.2021 for the issuance of the legal heir certificate and the petitioner has not received any communication from the respondent. In view of the matter, the petitioner has filed this Writ Petition.

4. Heard both sides.
