Disown

1. Mother can give share to son (even in reference to earlier advertisement read with subsequent development).

2. In my opinion in interstate stage prima facie the plea has no force in the eyes of law (even in reference to earlier advertisement read with most recent development i.e. mother’s death).
Reasoning: S. 8 of the Hindu Succession Act (The Act hereinafter), provides that the property of a male Hindu dying intestate shall devolve first upon his class I legal heirs. The provision does not exclude a legal heir who has been disinherited by the Hindu dying intestate. The only exceptions I can find to S. 8 of HSA are S. 25 and S. 26 of the said Act. S. 25 disqualify a person who commits murder or abets the commission of murder from inheriting the property. S. 26 of the Act provides that a person who has ceased to be or ceases to be a Hindu by conversion to another religion, children born to him or her after such conversion and their descendants shall be disqualified from inheriting the property of their Hindu relatives, unless such children or descendants are Hindus at the time when the succession opens.
