1990 (10) TMI 35 - HC - Income Tax

Summary

The High Court of Allahabad ruled that the entire estate of a deceased Hindu coparcener passed to his heirs as he was the sole surviving coparcener, rejecting the claim that only half of the estate passed. The court held that the deceased's wife had no share in the family property, and thus the entire interest passed to the heirs. The decision was in favor of the Department.
