V. Dandapani Chettiar vs Balasubramanian Chettiar (Dead) By Lrs ...

The appellant sought a declaration of ownership and partition of properties, claiming that upon the intestate and issueless death of Rajathiammal, the properties should devolve upon the heirs of her father under Section 15(2) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The respondents contended that the properties should instead devolve upon the heirs of Rajathiammal's husband. The court examined the application of succession laws regarding properties inherited by a female Hindu from her parents.
