However, since Sudhin had died around 1950\u201351, both lower courts dismissed her case on the grounds that the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, was inapplicable as the death occurred prior to its enactment.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The High Court concurred, noting that when a Hindu governed by Mitakshara law dies before 1956, his self-acquired property devolves entirely upon his son. A daughter\u2019s right arises only if there is no surviving son.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The court further explained that the Hindu Law of Inheritance (Amendment) Act, 1929, did not diminish the son\u2019s right but merely widened the pool of potential heirs in the absence of male descendants by including certain female relatives and the sister\u2019s son.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Precedents_and_Legal_References\"><\/span><b>Precedents and Legal References<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While affirming the lower courts\u2019 orders, the High Court cited Supreme Court judgments in <i>Arshnoor Singh vs Harpal Kaur (2020)<\/i> and <i>Arunachala Gounder vs Ponnusamy (2022)<\/i>. These rulings reiterate that property inherited by a Hindu man before 1956 devolved exclusively upon his male heirs, with daughters entitled to a share only if no sons survived.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Sudhin was survived by a son, the court concluded that Ragmania had no legal claim to the property, stating that the lower courts had \u201crightly applied the law\u201d in dismissing her plea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Similar_Observations_by_Bombay_High_Court\"><\/span><b>Similar Observations by Bombay High Court<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This position echoes a ruling by the Bombay High Court last year, which held that daughters cannot claim inheritance if their father died before the Hindu Succession Act came into effect. The case involved Radhabai Shirke, who had sought a share in her father Yeshwantrao\u2019s property.<\/p>\n<p>Yeshwantrao, who died in 1952, had two wives and three daughters. Following his death, one of his widows, Bhikubai, continued to occupy the property and later willed it to her daughter, Champubai. Radhabai contested this will, seeking a half-share of the estate.<\/p>\n<p>Both the trial and appellate courts rejected her claim, holding that under the Hindu Women\u2019s Right to Property Act, 1937, Bhikubai was the rightful inheritor. The High Court upheld this decision, reaffirming that the 1956 Act could not apply retrospectively to cases where the deceased passed away earlier.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Broader_Legal_Context\"><\/span><b>The Broader Legal Context<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Hindu Succession Act, 1956, brought significant reform by recognising daughters as equal coparceners in family property. However, the law is not retrospective, meaning inheritance rights apply only when the father\u2019s death occurred after the Act came into force.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, before 1956, the Mitakshara system placed inheritance almost entirely in the hands of male heirs. Daughters could claim a share only if there were no sons or grandsons.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that Hindu daughters are entitled to inherit their father\u2019s property if there is no other legal heir and will have precedence over extended family members even if the father dies intestate. However, this principle applies strictly to cases post-1956.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_Matters\"><\/span><b>Why This Matters<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Chhattisgarh High Court\u2019s verdict reinforces a crucial legal distinction \u2014 that succession rights under Hindu law are determined by the date of death and not by the date of litigation. It also reaffirms that while gender equality in inheritance is constitutionally guaranteed today, the law cannot retrospectively alter property transfers made under older legal systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant clarification of Hindu inheritance laws, the Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that a daughter cannot claim&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":8237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[3614,3611,3612,3613,271],"class_list":["post-8235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","tag-chhattisgarh-hc-property-ruling","tag-daughters-property-rights","tag-hindu-succession-act-1956","tag-inheritance-law-india","tag-real-estate-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Chhattisgarh HC Rules: Daughters Cannot Claim Property Share if Father Died Before 1956<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Chhattisgarh HC reaffirms that daughters can\u2019t claim inheritance if their father died before 1956, as Mitakshara law grants property only\u00a0to\u00a0male\u00a0heirs.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/housiey.com\/blogs\/chhattisgarh-hc-daughters-property-rights\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chhattisgarh HC Rules: Daughters Cannot Claim Property Share if Father Died Before 1956\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Chhattisgarh HC reaffirms that daughters can\u2019t claim inheritance if their father died before 1956, as Mitakshara law grants property only\u00a0to\u00a0male\u00a0heirs.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/housiey.com\/blogs\/chhattisgarh-hc-daughters-property-rights\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Blogs\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/16e5bbCuix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-10-25T08:14:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-07-30T11:16:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/housiey.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Chhattisgarh-HC-Rules.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1374\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"916\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"L.
