BINDUMATI BAI vs NARBADA PRASAD

The Supreme Court held that a co-widow can relinquish her right of survivorship under Hindu Law, allowing her to dispose of property by will. The Court affirmed the findings of lower courts that the appellant had indeed relinquished her right, as evidenced by the partition deed and the appellant's own testimony. The appeal was dismissed, confirming that a co-widow can agree to relinquish her rights in favor of another widow, thus validating the will executed by Shantibai in favor of the respondent.
