Arunachala Gounder (Dead) By Lrs. VS Ponnusamy - 2022 2 Supreme 272 : Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, the legal heirs of a Hindu male dying intestate are determined based on the nature of the property. If the property is self-acquired or obtained in partition of a coparcenary or family property, it devolves by inheritance and not by survivorship. In such cases, a daughter of the deceased Hindu male is entitled to inherit the property in preference to other collaterals. The Act provides a uniform and comprehensive system of inheritance applicable to all Hindus, including those governed by Mitakshara and Dayabhaga schools, as well as those previously governed by Murumakkattayam, Aliyasantana, and Nambudri laws. The legal heirs include the widow, sons, daughters, and other specified relatives as per Section 15 of the Act.Checking relevance for Annagouda Nathgouda VS Court Of Wards, Satara, By Its Manager, The Coollector Of Satara...
Annagouda Nathgouda VS Court Of Wards, Satara, By Its Manager, The Coollector Of Satara - 1951 0 Supreme(SC) 78 : The Hindu Law of Inheritance (Amendment) Act (1929) applies only to the separate property of a Hindu male who dies intestate, and governs succession to such property. It does not apply to succession to stridhan property of a Hindu female. The Act alters the order in which certain heirs of a Hindu male dying intestate are entitled to succeed to his estate, but only in respect of property not held in coparcenary and not disposed of by will. The four relations made statutory heirs under the Act are so only when the propositus is a male and the property in question is his separate property.Checking relevance for Mool Chand VS Kedar (Deceased) by LRs. ...

Prasanta Kumar Sahoo VS Charulata Sahu - 2023 4 Supreme 421 : Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, as amended in 2005, daughters are recognized as coparceners by birth in a Hindu Mitakshara coparcenary property, with equal rights and liabilities as sons. This applies regardless of whether the daughter was born before or after the commencement of the Amendment Act on 9.9.2005. A daughter born before the amendment can claim coparcenary rights only from 9.9.2005, subject to the saving of past transactions under the proviso to Section 6(1) read with Section 6(5). The right to be a coparcener is conferred by birth, and it is not necessary that the coparcener (father) be alive on the date of commencement of the amendment. Legal heirs of a Hindu male include his daughters, who are entitled to coparcenary rights by birth, and the devolution of interest in coparcenary property is governed by the substituted Section 6(3), which provides for inheritance by intestate or testamentary succession, not by survivorship, in cases where a coparcener dies after 9.9.2005.Checking relevance for Vineeta Sharma VS Rakesh Sharma...

Radhabai Balasaheb Shirke, since deceased, through her heirs & L. Rs. VS Keshav Ramchandra Jadhav - Current Civil Cases (2024) : Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, the legal heirs of a Hindu male dying intestate are determined as follows: (a) firstly, upon the heirs specified in Class I of the Schedule; (b) secondly, if there is no heir of Class I, then upon the heirs specified in Class II of the Schedule; (c) thirdly, if there is no heir of either Class I or Class II, then upon the agnates of the deceased; and (d) lastly, if there is no agnate, then upon the cognates of the deceased. Class I heirs include the son, daughter, widow, mother, and other specified relatives. The Act of 1956 applies only to a person who dies after the commencement of the Act on 17th June 1956. For a male Hindu dying before 1956, the devolution of property is governed by the Hindu Women’s Rights to Property Act, 1937, which provides limited rights to the widow but does not grant inheritance rights to daughters. Daughters were not recognized as legal heirs under the pre-1956 law unless all widows and other Class I heirs were absent.
