Out of the following situations, when will the limited estate of the widow not enlarge into an absolute right under section 14(1) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
A widow's mere permissive right of residence in a property, granted to her before the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, came into force, is not possession of property in lieu of a pre-existing right such as maintenance, so it does not amount to a limited estate enlarging into an absolute right under section 14(1); property she actually possessed as her husband's heir, or recovered from an invalid alienation, does enlarge.
