    The Madras High Court allowed Gurusamy's writ petition, holding that the Thasildar's rejection of his application for a Class-II legal heir certificate was arbitrary and discriminatory. The court found that residence in a different village cannot be grounds for denying a legal heir certificate; the Thasildar must only verify whether applicants are legitimate legal heirs. The court set aside the rejection order and directed the Thasildar to conduct a fresh inquiry and issue appropriate orders within eight weeks.
