In this episode, we dive deep into the Supreme Court of India's groundbreaking judgment in Revanasiddappa & Anr. vs. Mallikarjun & Ors (2023), which clarifies the inheritance rights of children born from void or voidable Hindu marriages under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, and the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Delivered by Chief Justice Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud, the three-judge bench ruled that while such children are conferred legitimacy by law, their inheritance rights are confined strictly to the property of their parents and do not extend to ancestral joint family property as coparceners. This judgment harmonizes provisions of both Acts, defining the legal position of these children with respect to self-acquired and ancestral property and reaffirms the constitutional principles of equality and dignity. Whether you are a legal professional, student, or simply interested in Indian family law, this episode provides essential insights into a pivotal case shaping Hindu inheritance law today.
