2020 4 Supreme 193 : Under the Hindu Succession Act, a widow of a coparcener is entitled to the interest of her husband in the HUF property (Section 3(2)). She acquires a coparcenary interest, can claim partition, and her share does not automatically pass to the surviving son of the HUF. If the widow does not partition before her death, her interest merges back into the coparcenary property; otherwise, upon partition she receives a definite share.Checking relevance for Vallikannu VS R.

2005 4 Supreme 97 : Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act (Mitakshara law) provides that on the death of a male coparcener his interest in the HUF property devolves by survivorship to the remaining coparceners, not to his wife. The cited case further holds that if a son is disqualified (e.g., for murdering his father), his wife is also barred from claiming the deceased father’s coparcenary property. Hence, the wife of a deceased husband does not automatically retain the HUF property; it passes to the surviving coparceners (e.g., the son) unless a specific disqualification applies.Checking relevance for Namdev Vyankat Ghadge VS Chandrakant Ganpat Ghadge...

2017 3 Supreme 610 : Under Section 3(2) of the Hindu Women’s Rights to Property Act, 1937 and Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, when a male coparcener in a HUF dies, a notional partition is deemed to have taken place immediately before his death. The widow of the deceased coparcener is entitled to a share in the joint family property – a share equal to that of a son – and the deceased’s interest devolves among the surviving members (widow, children, and other coparceners). Thus, the property does not revert solely to the surviving son; the widow retains her share in the HUF property.Checking relevance for Revanasiddappa VS Mallikarjun...

Wealth Tax Officer VS Durlabhlal Sewalal Yagnik - Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (2000)
: Under Mitakshara Hindu law, when a coparcener (husband) dies, his interest in the joint family (HUF) property does not pass by succession to his heirs (e.g., his son). Instead, the interest devolves by survivorship on the remaining members of the HUF, which include his wife and any unmarried daughters. Therefore, the property remains with the wife (as a member of the HUF) and does not revert to the surviving son of the HUF.
