RAMAN NADAR VISWANATHAN NADAR & ORS. vs SNEHAPPOO RASALAMMA ALIAS AMMUKUTTY & 4OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that a bequest to unborn persons is void under Hindu Law, as established in Tagore v. Tagore, I.A. (1872) Supp. 47. The Court ruled that the will executed by K and R, which bequeathed assets to R's future sons, could not take effect since the appellants were born after K's death. Consequently, the daughters of R were entitled to the properties after R's life estate, affirming the High Court's decision.
