Which of the following is not correct under Section 8 of Hindu Succession Act 1956? The property of a Hindu male dying intestate shall devolve
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Under s.8 of the Hindu Succession Act 1956 a male intestate's property devolves first on Class I heirs, then Class II heirs, then agnates and then cognates. Devolution on the Government by escheat arises only under s.29 when there is no heir at all, so "Fourthly upon the government" is not correct for s.8.
