Thanks for reply. Is there any case law regarding this. Will your answer change if daughter of first wife & one of the daughter of second wife is widow?

Dear Mahendra thale,

All are entitled to equal share in A's self acquired property.This status will not change even if the daughter of the first wife and one of the daughter's of second wife is a widow.

In above case all four sons are cultivating some part (not equally) of fathers total agriculture land since last twenty years. In case one son filed suite for equal partition, Whether each son get preference over the part of land cultivated by him.

Please suggest any case laws regarding this.

Dear mahendra,

When a suit for partition is filed and after adjudication of rights, sometimes preference is given to the person initiating the suit and his possession over the said undivided property.
