ISSUE:
Did Kipro have a limited right over the property that she got in lieu of the property her deceased husband owned in Pakistan?
Whether the property should devolve to Santi's pre-deceased husband's brother after her death?
RULE:
Section 15 (2) (a) talks about any property inherited by a female Hindu from her father or mother. It says that the same shall devolve, in the absence of any son or daughter of the deceased (including the children of any pre-deceased son or daughter), to the heirs of the father.
Section 14 talks about property possessed by a Hindu female to be her absolute property, whether acquired before or after the commencement of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. She will hold the property as an absolute, full owner and not as a limited owner.
