The Supreme Court recently dismissed a son’s claim to fully inherit his late father’s property in this specific property dispute case, upholding his stepmother’s right to the property, which she gifted to her daughter.
The property dispute case involved Mr Ganapati from Terdal village in Karnataka. According to the submission to the court, Ganpati’s father, Mr Gangaram, died in 1949, and his stepmother, Mrs Kashibai, passed away in 1986. However, before her death, Kashibai executed a Will giving the said properties to her daughter Shakuntala (Ganapati’s stepsister).
