Under section 28 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, how is a grandson of A's cousin-german related in degree to A, compared with a grandson of A's great-uncle?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Illustration (iii) to section 28 places the two "both in the sixth degree of kindred". A cousin-german is in the fourth degree, and his grandson is two steps further down, giving six. A great-uncle is three steps up to the great-grandfather and one down, and his grandson is two more down, again six.
