https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308892 A partition claim over property standing in the name of a Hindu female was held untenable where the plaint contained only a bare assertion that the asset was bought from family funds and held benami for the HUF. The court noted there were no particulars of the alleged source of funds, the earlier property, any relinquishment, or any treatment of the asset as HUF property, and that a Hindu female cannot blend separate property into HUF stock in the manner of a coparcener. It further held that a benami plea for HUF ownership is barred, and that succession to the female owner's property would occur under the Hindu Succession Act through her heirs, not by a grandson asserting a birthright share. The suit was dismissed with costs. en-us Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Sun, 30 Jul 2023 11:22:20 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308892 A partition claim over property standing in the name of a Hindu female was held untenable where the plaint contained only a bare assertion that the asset was bought from family funds and held benami for the HUF.
