Hindi - Adopted Son vs. Daughters: Who Gets Ancestral Property? | Supreme Court Judgment

Описание: https://jurisoptima.com/cases/basavar...

When a father adopts a son into a family that already has daughters, how does this change the division of ancestral property? Does the adopted son immediately become a co-owner, effectively reducing the inheritance available to the daughters?
In this legal explainer, we analyze the landmark Supreme Court judgment of Basavarajappa v. Gurubasamma & Ors. This case is a crucial study on the Hindu Succession Act and the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act. It settles a complex debate regarding the status of an adopted child as a "Coparcener" and how shares are calculated when a father dies intestate (without a will).
We break down the "legal math" of Notional Partition, explain the "Transplantation Theory" of adoption, and discuss the now-repealed Section 23 regarding rights to the family dwelling house.
