HINDU SUCCESSION ACT: CO-HEIR CANNOT SELL OTHERS’ SHARE AS KARTA

Case Name: DARUBAI & ANR. VERSUS KAMALABAI & ORS.

The Supreme Court of India held that after intestate succession under the Hindu Succession Act, inherited property is treated as tenancy-in-common and not as joint Hindu family property. Therefore, one co-heir cannot transfer or alienate the shares of other heirs by claiming the status of “Karta.” Each heir possesses a definite and independent share in the property.

LEGAL PROVISIONS & FRAMEWORK

  • Hindu Succession Act, 1956
  • Section 8 – General rules of succession in case of males
  • Concept of intestate succession
  • Tenancy-in-common principle
  • Mitakshara Hindu Law principles
  • Rights and limitations of Karta in HUF property

BAR ASSOCIATIONS NOT SUBJECT TO WRIT JURISDICTION: SUPREME COURT

Case Name: Sangita Rai v. New Delhi Bar Association & Ors.

LEGAL PROVISIONS & FRAMEWORK

  • Article 12 – Definition of “State”
  • Article 226 – Writ jurisdiction of High Courts
