State Of Maharashtra vs Narayan Rao Sham Rao Deshmukh & Ors on 19 March, 1985
In State of Maharashtra v. Narayan Rao Sham Rao Deshmukh and Ors.,
(1985) 3 S.C.R. 358, this Court distinguished the judgment in Magdum’s case
in answering a completely different question that was raised before it.
The question raised before the Court in that case was as to whether a
female Hindu, who inherits a share of the joint family property on the
death of her husband, ceases to be a member of the family thereafter. This
Court held that as there was a partition by operation of law on application
of explanation 1 of Section 6, and as such partition was not a voluntary
act by the female Hindu, the female Hindu does not cease to be a member of
the joint family upon such partition being effected.
