A Hindu male dies intestate leaving behind him his mother, father and widow of his predeceased son, and his self-earned property worth 20 lakh. Who shall succeed to his property and how much share.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The mother and the widow of the predeceased son are both Class I heirs, while the father is only a Class II heir excluded by any Class I heir (Section 8 and the Schedule of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956), so the property goes to "His mother and widow of his predeceased son equally".
