The statutory heir succeeding on the widow's death took as full owner, became a fresh stock of descent, and subsequent devolution had to be traced under Section 15, not by reversion. The pleading also made clear that later heirs in the same class are excluded once an earlier item heir is available. A proposed second-appeal amendment introducing a new and inconsistent title was treated as an afterthought and refused. en-us Fri, 28 Oct 1977 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 16:28:51 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198814 Where a widow inherited a Hindu male's estate and died after the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 came into force, succession was governed by Section 8 and the Act's scheme displaced earlier Hindu reversionary rules.
