I opine under the Indian Succession Act, of 1925, if the deceased has left behind both a widow and lineal descendants, she will get one-third of his estate while the remaining two-thirds will go to the latter.

It is not necessary that partition need to be on mathematical precision as to area. They are other aspects to be taken into account.
