· India · Verdictum, Telegraph India

The court clarified that such property is considered self-acquired by the father, meaning sons cannot claim a share during his lifetime. This decision reinforces existing interpretations of the Hindu Succession Act regarding ancestral versus self-acquired assets. The ruling provides legal clarity for families navigating property disputes in the state.
