Supreme Court in which of the following case held that women can also be manager of a Joint Family.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
In Shreya Vidyarthi v. Ashok Vidyarthi (2015), the Supreme Court observed that "Karta and Manager may be understood to be not synonymous". It recognised a Hindu widow managing family affairs as guardian of a minor coparcener, while distinguishing this from being karta in her husband's family. CIT v. Seth Govindram Sugar Mills concerned the widow's lack of coparcenary status for karta-ship, not an absolute ban on practical management.
