https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196048 Where a Hindu male dies after the commencement of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 with an interest in Mitakshara coparcenary property, succession to that interest is governed by Section 6 rather than the general rule in Section 8. Section 4 overrides inconsistent pre-existing Hindu law, and Section 6 applies its special scheme to coparcenary property, subject to the statutory proviso concerning female Class I heirs. The property retained its joint family character on the facts noted, so the succession had to be worked out under Section 6 and not by resort to pre-Act Hindu law. Section 8 therefore had no application to that extent. en-us Fri, 29 Sep 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 23 Feb 2024 17:17:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196048 Where a Hindu male dies after the commencement of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 with an interest in Mitakshara coparcenary property, succession to that interest is governed by Section 6 rather than the general rule in Section 8.
