https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168360 Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 enlarges only the limited estate of a female Hindu who was in possession of property at the commencement of the Act; it does not confer absolute ownership on a female donee or alienee taking under an invalid pre-1956 gift from a Hindu widow, so the claim to full title was rejected. Possession under such an invalid gift may be adverse to the widow, but it does not by itself become adverse to the reversioners during the widow's lifetime, and adverse possession against the widow does not extinguish their rights. The reversioners' claim therefore remained enforceable after the widow's death. en-us Wed, 01 May 1991 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 17:50:01 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168360 Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 enlarges only the limited estate of a female Hindu who was in possession of property at the commencement of the Act; it does not confer absolute ownership on a female donee or alienee taking under an invalid pre-1956 gift from a Hindu widow, so the claim to full title was rejected.
