Omprakash & Ors vs Radhacharan & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the application of Section 15 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, in determining the succession of self-acquired properties of a deceased female Hindu. The Court held that since the properties were not inherited from her parents and the husband or in-laws had not contributed to her upbringing, sub-Section (2) of Section 15 should apply, favoring the heirs of the mother over the husband's heirs. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the deceased's mother and brothers, granting them the succession certificate.
