Giving of Statements in newspapers about strained relations and about severing of connections with son without executing any will does not debar the eligibility of the son having a share in the self-acquired property of his father.

Dear Mr. Bhatia,
May I know the relegion of the Parties in question, becuase the situation for claim by legal heirs, legality of wills varies in case of relegion also.

Presuming the dispute in question pertaining to Hindu it can be said that though the News paper evidence is not considered very reliable in every legal disputes but in this case if it can be established that such a piece of news was published at the behest of deceased than it will definitely weigh high. Moreover, so far the self earned property of deceased father is concerned, in the present facts and circumstances paper cutting if proved true than it will go against the interest of separated son. This is because the news published do signifies intention of the father to debar his son from the right that may accrue to him on account of being son.
