Enactments passed before commencement of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 5(ii) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 also excludes an estate which descends to a single heir "by the terms of any enactment passed before the commencement of this Act". Other earlier laws do not override the Act; under s. 4(1)(b) they cease to apply so far as they are inconsistent with it.
