In a partition appeal, Madras High Court ruled that a daughter is entitled to ½ share in ancestral property under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The Court held that the 2012 sale deed is not binding.
The Supreme Court dismissed a long-running inheritance dispute after the only witness to the mother’s will admitted he knew nothing about it, making the will legally invalid. The Court ruled that the property must now devolve under natural Hindu succession, allowing the son to inherit his mother’s share.
NEW DELHI: On Tuesday, January 28, 2025, Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna made an important statement regarding inheritance laws in India. He said that every person should have the freedom to stop following a religion and choose to be governed by secular inheritance laws. This right should apply to people of all religions equally.
