Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, children of a pre-deceased son or daughter:

Rule 2 of s. 16 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 provides that the children of a pre-deceased son or daughter "shall take between them the share which such son or daughter would have taken if living at the intestate's death". They take by representation, not per capita alongside the intestate's surviving children, and no court direction is needed.
