BHAGAT RAM (DEAD) BY L.RS. vs TEJA SINGH (DEAD)

The Supreme Court reiterated its earlier decision in Bhagat Ram v. Teja Singh, holding that under Section 15(2)(a) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, the property inherited by a female Hindu from her mother devolves only on her daughters and not on the brother of her pre-deceased husband. The Court allowed the legal heirs of Teja Singh to be heard but ultimately upheld the previous ruling, confirming that Teja Singh had no rights to the property left by Smt. Santi. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the earlier judgment.
