Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, a Hindu male X dies intestate leaving behind his mother's father, mother's mother, mother's brother and mother's sister. Who out of the following succeed X?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under the Schedule to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, mother's father and mother's mother fall in an earlier category of Class II heirs than mother's brother and mother's sister, so in the absence of nearer heirs, X's estate succeeds to his mother's parents rather than to his maternal uncle or aunt.
