On that basis, the customary record did not establish a special rule excluding daughters from succession to non-ancestral property among Grewal Jats. The doctrine of acceleration or surrender by a limited owner also requires complete self-effacement and surrender of the entire interest; a partial gift benefiting only some reversioners does not validly accelerate succession. A selective transfer therefore could not confer absolute title beyond the widow's lifetime. en-us Fri, 06 May 1960 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 21 May 2018 17:15:05 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=272860 Entries in a Riwaj-i-am are relevant evidence of custom and ordinarily carry an initial presumption of correctness, but the presumption is weak where female succession rights are affected and, unless clearly shown otherwise, such entries are treated as confined to ancestral property.
