Which Section of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 gives preferential right to co-heirs in the property?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 22 gives the preferential right to the other Class I co-heirs where an interest devolves on two or more such heirs and one proposes to transfer it. It is not an unlimited right held by every possible relative. Section 20 concerns a child in the womb; section 26 concerns a convert’s descendants; section 24 had already been omitted in 2005.
