In a Mitakshara family, a man inherits his father's self-acquired property on the father's intestacy under section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. What interest does the inheriting son's own child acquire in that property by birth alone?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Property inherited from a father under section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, on the stated facts, belongs to the inheriting son in his individual capacity. His own child has no interest in it by birth alone.
Option feedback
Option A
The son takes under section 8 in his individual capacity, so his own child acquires no birthright in the property on those facts.
Option B
There is no automatic half share because no right accrues by birth.
Option C
There is no automatic third share because no right accrues by birth.
Option D
The child has no coparcenary interest by birth in this property because the parent took it in an individual capacity.
