The Rajasthan High Court, in a recent judgement, has ruled that a grandson has no right to oppose the sale of his late grandfather’s land under the Hindu Succession Act, since his father inherited the land and is still alive. In simple terms, it means that when the grandfather died, the land went to his three sons under the Hindu Succession Act. So this land is not ancestral land, as it has now become the son’s respective self-acquired inherited land. Thus, the grandson can’t oppose the sale of this land since he has no birthright over his father’s inherited self-acquired land.
To get the full picture of this case, it’s important to know the history of the land. The government had given Late Chutra Ram 75 bigha land in Jaisalmer under Section 101 of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956.
