Atma Singh vs Gurmej Kaur (D) And Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming that Gurmej Kaur, as the mother of Pal Singh, is entitled to inherit his estate under Section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, despite her remarriage. The Court clarified that the provisions of the Hindu Widow's Remarriage Act, 1856 do not apply as they are overridden by the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 per Section 4. The appeal was dismissed, confirming Gurmej Kaur's right to inherit.
