A Hindu Joint Family consists of father 'F' and his three sons 'S1', 'S2' and 'S3'. 'S1' converts to Christianity in 1960 and 'S2' suffers from leprosy. 'F' dies in 1961. Who as heirs can inherit the property of 'F'?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 neither conversion (Section 26 disqualifies only the convert's descendants, not the convert himself) nor disease such as leprosy (Section 28) disqualifies an heir, so "All the three sons." inherit.
