Pharez John Abraham(Dead) By Lrs. vs Arul Jothi Sivasubramaniam K. And Ors. ...

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the partition of property belonging to John D. Abraham, emphasizing that the heirs of a deceased individual, including those who convert to another religion, retain their rights to inheritance under Hindu law. The Court clarified that the conversion of Triza Kalyani John (A.S. Meenakshi) to Hinduism does not negate her claim to a share in her father's estate. The judgment reinforced the principle that all legitimate heirs are entitled to their respective shares, irrespective of their religious affiliations, thereby affirming the partition and separate possession of the property as sought by the plaintiffs.
