Section 10 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 follows which principle:

Section 10 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 gives "one share" to the heirs in the branch of each pre-deceased son or daughter, and Rule 4 then divides that share within the branch, which is distribution per stirpes. Survivorship and primogeniture have no place in it, and entry-wise preference is the s. 9 rule for Class II.
