https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288893 Property allotted to a Hindu widow in lieu of maintenance under a pre-Act decree, even with restrictions on alienation, falls within the enlarging effect of Section 14(1) of the Hindu Succession Act when the allotment recognises a pre-existing right. The provision applies where a female Hindu is in possession of property as a limited owner and converts that interest into full ownership. Section 14(2) operates only for a new and independent title created by grant, decree or instrument; it does not apply where the property is referable to antecedent maintenance rights. The widow's restricted interest was therefore enlarged into absolute ownership. en-us Tue, 20 Feb 1979 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 04 Jul 2020 14:46:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288893 Property allotted to a Hindu widow in lieu of maintenance under a pre-Act decree, even with restrictions on alienation, falls within the enlarging effect of Section 14(1) of the Hindu Succession Act when the allotment recognises a pre-existing right.
