Supreme Court

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has given a big decision regarding the property. The court has said that a widow woman (Widow) can give property to the heirs of the parent side. The court says that under the Hindu Succession Act, the father of a Hindu widow woman cannot be deemed a stranger to those on the side and be given property. The Supreme Court has ruled this in the case of a family of Gurgaon. The party challenged the High Court’s decision in the Supreme Court.

The court has said that people from the maternal side will be considered as part of the woman’s family. Referring to Section 15 (1) (d), a bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan and R. Subhash Reddy said that the heirs of the father of a Hindu woman have been included as heirs in the property of the woman. Children of her brother-in-law filed a petition in the court regarding this decision of the woman.
