Sasikala says Jayalalitha suffered set backs from the shock of judgments against her. Supreme Court was kind. They disclosed the judgment only after her death. Otherwise she would have died on hearing the judgment.

"Under the above act can father disinherit a married daughter during survival period of father ?"
Experts commenting on the above are not giving a reply. So I, a non-expert venture:
According to both Mitakshara and Dayabhaga only sons and not daughters inherited ancestral property. The Hindu Succession Act, 1956 changed this position and gave both sons and daughters equal right on intestate property. A person inherits part or whole of the property of his father. He has a son and a daughter. If he dies without writing a will his property will be shared equally by both his son and daughter. If he writes a will bequeathing his entire estate to his son only, it would amount to disinheriting his daughter.
in this Forum there are many who say that an ancestral property cannot be willed. There are others who challenge the view.
