https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=272606 A tenancy holding owned by members of a joint Hindu family devolves under the tenancy statute where that statute prescribes succession on a tenant's death, and the Hindu law rule of survivorship is displaced. The deceased member's share therefore passes by statutory succession, first to the widow and then to the preferential heir under the later tenancy law. By contrast, ancestral coparcenary house property continues to devolve by Hindu law survivorship unless a statute provides otherwise. On disruption of the family, the surviving coparceners' shares are determined accordingly, with the deceased member's interest enlarging the survivors' shares. en-us Fri, 10 Mar 1972 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 09 May 2018 15:20:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=272606 A tenancy holding owned by members of a joint Hindu family devolves under the tenancy statute where that statute prescribes succession on a tenant's death, and the Hindu law rule of survivorship is displaced.
