https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=462721 After the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 and the Kerala Joint Hindu Family System (Abolition) Act, 1975, a deceased coparcener's share in Kerala was held to devolve by succession, not survivorship, once the joint family system had ceased and the property was treated as held by tenants-in-common. The amended Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 was treated as prospective and could not reopen prior devolution where no coparcenary property survived in Kerala after 1.12.1976, so the daughter's claim to a one-half share failed. The plea that the property remained the ancestor's self-acquired property was also rejected, and the concurrent finding of shares was sustained. en-us Wed, 03 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 11 Jul 2025 18:30:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=462721 After the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 and the Kerala Joint Hindu Family System (Abolition) Act, 1975, a deceased coparcener's share in Kerala was held to devolve by succession, not survivorship, once the joint family system had ceased and the property was treated as held by tenants-in-common.
