In Revanasiddappa and another vs Mallikarjun and others [SUPREME COURT OF INDIA, 31 Mar 2011]
Land & Property - Family & Personal - Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, s. 16(3) - Whether illegitimate children were entitled to a share in the coparcenary property or whether their share was limited only to the self-acquired property of their parents u/s. 16(3) of the Hindu Marriage Act? - Held, as per s. 16(3) of the Hindu Marriage Act a child of a void or voidable marriage could only claim rights to the property of his parents, and no one else - However, legislature had used the word 'property' and had not qualified it with either self-acquired property or ancestral property - S. 16 postulated that such children would not be entitled to any rights in the property of any person who was not his parent if he was not entitled to them, by virtue of his illegitimacy, before the passing of the amendment - Benefit given under s. 16 was available only in cases where there was a marriage but such marriage was void or voidable in view of the provisions of the Act - Further, in the case of joint family property such children would be entitled only to a share in their parents' property but they could not claim it on their own right .

The illegitimate child/children can inherit

share and that too only in self acquired or

personally acquired by their begetter but not

in his ancestral coparcenary at all.

The lady would not inherit at all.
