A leaves 10,000 rupees "to B for his life, and after his decease to the heirs of C". How does the legacy go after B's death?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 93 applies to a bequest to the heirs of a particular person where that class is the direct and independent object of the gift. Illustration (iv) to section 93 says "the legacy goes as if it had belonged to C, and he had died intestate". C himself takes nothing as legatee; the gift is to whoever would be his heirs.
