Dear Divya,
the answer to your question lies in section 159 of the Income Tax Act. the section says that if a person dies, the return shall be filed by his legal representative.

Dear Divya,
yes sure they can file it. since in c\the case of the death, they are the ones who will be entitled to the estate. so they can file the return as well.
