BADRI NATH & ANR. vs MST. PUNNA (DEAD) BY LRS & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the right of a baridar to receive offerings at a temple is a transferable right under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, specifically Section 4. The Court rejected the argument that such rights are akin to an office like that of a shebait, emphasizing that the right to offerings is heritable and not dependent on personal qualifications or obligations to perform religious duties. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the plaintiff's entitlement to her father's share in the offerings despite her marriage outside the specified sub-castes.
