A Hindu joint family belonging to Bombay Sub‐school of Mitakshara School comprises X, his father,…

Under the Bombay school the wife and the mother take a share on partition, so the notional partition under Section 6(3) of the Hindu Succession Act gives the father, the mother and X's branch one-third each, and X's branch is split equally among X, his wife and his two coparcener daughters at 1/12 each. X's 1/12 then passes to his Class I heirs (mother, widow and two daughters) at 1/48 each, so each daughter takes 1/12 plus 1/48, that is "5/48 of the entire property".
