Yes. An illegitimate child born to a Christian is definitely entitled to inherit the properties of his parents.

It does not seem any specific law (likewise in case of Hindus) which entitles or debarrs an illegitimate child of christian from inheritance. However common sense says that the child is entitle to property of his parents as there is no fault of himself.
