https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=285082 Property inherited by a Hindu male under Section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act is taken in his individual capacity and not as coparcenary or HUF property unless there is proof that it had already belonged to an existing Hindu Undivided Family. The pleadings here did not establish any prior HUF ownership, nor any coparcenary in respect of the suit property, and there was no basis to presume ancestral character merely because the property descended through the male line. On that footing, the claim that the property was HUF property was rejected, and the dismissal of the suit was upheld. en-us Thu, 12 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 25 Dec 2019 15:29:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=285082 Property inherited by a Hindu male under Section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act is taken in his individual capacity and not as coparcenary or HUF property unless there is proof that it had already belonged to an existing Hindu Undivided Family.
