Self-acquired property definition

Krishnan Sir, in your definition of self acquired property, any property which is is acquired as a part of division of ancestral / coparcener property or acquired as a legal heir  is NOT self acquired property of that person. Other part of the definition is fine.

So, in your query, the grand children of Mr.X have their share in the property as it is not self acqired property of Mr. X.

Hi Venky and Suchi, Thanks for your replies.

I came across a different answer by a senior lawyer a while ago.  Please click the link below to see the information:

Sir, I went through the link given by you. But still I think my view was right. Once it is an ancestral property, it cannot become self acquired property either through partition or intestate inheritance. Only if the property is aquired through will , it will also become self acquired property. Let the Learned members of the group enlighten me if I am wrong.

A self acquired property is one which has been acquired by oneself out of his own earnings.  Thus an ancesteral property or inherited property cannot be once self acquired property.

I got a snippet of a case reported in 'Indian Law Reports 2007 Karnataka Series' page 182. It states  "Though under traditional Hindu Law, a son by his birth in the family gets a share in his father's ancestral property and becomes a co-parcener, that position is affected and modified by Section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 - Consequently, the property of the father who had seperated from his family, on his death will be inherited and held by his sons in their individual capacity and son's son/sons will have no right there in as co-parceners"

Any thoughts on this statement ?

In my view, once a person severs ties with his family, becomes independent on himself, thus, a property received by him on servering his ties and bonds from his parent family, becomes his individual property.  I shall be clear once I lay hands on the Indian Law REport, 2007 and read the contents.
