A by his will charges his zamindari of Y with an annuity of 1,000 rupees to C for life, and subject to that charge bequeaths the zamindari to D. How are the two bequests classified?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Illustration (v) to section 142 holds that "Each of these bequests is specific". The zamindari of Y is a distinct part of A's property given to D, and the annuity to C is carved out of that same property. Both therefore fall within the definition of a specific legacy in section 142.
