Section 14 of the Hindu Succession Act applies to

Section 14(1) of the Hindu Succession Act makes property possessed by a female Hindu her absolute property, and its Explanation states that "property" includes both movable and immovable property. The answer is therefore "movable and immovable property only"; an option limited to movable or to immovable property alone is incomplete, and the section is not about easementary rights. Section 14(2) separately preserves a restricted estate created by a gift, will or other instrument.

Current law: The separate Uttarakhand UCC succession framework does not turn section 14's historical property-type distinction into a movable-only or immovable-only rule.
