Right of a child in womb is given under which one of the following Sections of the Hindu Succession Act?

Section 20 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 provides that a child who was in the womb at the time of the intestate's death and is subsequently born alive has the same right to inherit as if born before the death, the inheritance vesting from the date of death. Section 22 concerns the preferential right to acquire property, section 24 (now omitted) certain remarried widows, and section 25 disqualifies a murderer.

Current law: For covered Uttarakhand intestate estates, UCC Section 55 retains the conception-at-death and subsequent-live-birth rule, deeming succession effective from the intestate’s death. Coverage includes defined Uttarakhand residents, including residents outside the State, and excludes Scheduled Tribes and groups with Part XXI-protected customary rights.
