https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172961 Children born of a void or voidable marriage are treated as legitimate under Section 16 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, but that statutory fiction is expressly limited by Section 16(3). The provision bars any claim to property of persons other than the parents, including ancestral coparcenary property, and the object of removing stigma cannot expand that restriction by implication. On that interpretation, such children cannot inherit in property beyond their parents' property, so the challenge was rejected and the appeal dismissed. en-us Fri, 20 Dec 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:10:37 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172961 Children born of a void or voidable marriage are treated as legitimate under Section 16 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, but that statutory fiction is expressly limited by Section 16(3).
