Lachman Singh vs Kirpa Singh & Others on 14 April, 1987
4. In my view, counsel for the petitioners is absolutely right in saying that in view of the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, Section 15(1)(b), the petitioners were entitled to seek mutation of the records as only heirs of Jyoti's predeceased husband. Counsel for the State has referred me to Lachman Singh v. Kirpa Singh and Ors. holding that the word 'sons' used in Section 15(1)(a) does not include a stepson of a female Hindu dying intestate. That is not the case here. Here the petitioners are Jyoti's stepsons, and Jyoti died issueless and intestate.
