L.Gowramma (D) By Lr vs Sunanda (D) By Lrs & Anr

The Supreme Court interpreted the Hindu Law Women’s Rights Act, 1933, specifically Sections 4 and 8, to determine the rights of daughters in joint family property after the death of a male coparcener. The Court held that under Section 8(1)(d), daughters are entitled to a share in the property, as the joint family property passed to Thimmappa by survivorship, allowing for the inclusion of female heirs. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions that recognized the daughters' rights to inheritance.
