Two amendments to hsa 1956- some questions.

Respected friends, particularly from the legal fraternity, 

Just  now I have concluded reading a Karanataka judgment  on the matter. And I have been  looking for specific answer, without success  so far and hence  this message. Kindly read below more facts.  

Ancestral property  allotted under  the earlier partition in 1987, to the branch of (deceased son G ) to the  elder son in the branch, K , the widow / mother M  and the last son C is subjected to  partition   in 2002,  by the K,M and C. 

Both K and C were married already and each  had two children by  2002. C has two twin children, a boy T and a girl R.

K  gets his  share of properties  under   'A' schedule in the 2002 partition. . The B schedule allotted  to second son C has two items of  properties- Item 1 land  property  and M gets it for her life after which this property in item 1 of the B schedule will reach  C only.

Item 2 of the B schedule  has a number of landed properties and all of them are the properties  of C exclusively. 

The properties  of  C  which were allotted under B schedule in  2002 partition were coparcenary properties too between  him and son  T .  With Act 1 of  1990, R (daughter) is also a coparcener.

Because in the year  1989 ,  Hindu Succession ( Tamil Naadu ) Amendment  (ACT 1 of 1990) has been added to the 1956 Act to the effect that the daughter/s (not married)  will be coparcener/s as much  as a  son is.

Thus from  the date of parttion on  05-07-2002, the properties obtained by C under  B schedule are,  as against the other members  ( K and M)   to the partition, are his separate properties.  that is, M and K. can not make any claim  to any of the properties under  B schedule allotted. Of couse M has life anjoyment  right in item 1 property   allotted to C. 

C is drunkard and has not been caring  for his wife S and son T and daughter R . The family of C is disunited from 2006, .with wife and children living away from C. 

The wily elder brother takes advantage of his younger brother's estrangement with his wife and children, and in view of the increase in value  of properties by this time of 2009, he influences the younger brother C and the aged mother M to register a document of cancellation on 13-01-2009 of patrition registered in 2002.

Again, on 01-04-2009 , K influnces C and M to effcet fresh  partition of the properties, and registered too. 

R, the wife and the two coparcener minor children T and R of  just 10 years old and  are not  aware of  these transactions  of cancellation of partition of  the year 2002 and registration of fresh partition on 01-04-2009. Under this partition C is badly discriminated and good properties are knocked away by the elder brother.

Let us  remember that with effect from   09-09-2005 the Central Amending Act 39 of 2005 to the HSA of 1956 has come into vogue. It is prospective in nature. Accordingly under Section 6, a daughter  by birth, ( that is from the date of her birth of 18-04-1992 1992 , is it not?)   

Now on 25-03-2011 C died in an accident. He diede intestate.  The facts of  cancellation of 2002 partition in January  2009 and registrations of fresh  partition in April 2009 come to the knowledge of the S.T and R.

M with allotment of independent properties under  new partition t  is expected to take side with first son K

 

What steps S, T and R can take steps now?

Dear  Friends, there have been 41 views of this thread . Thank you all.

This thread is meant  to help a very age rural family of limited means.

After more search and reading of web based materials and text like Mulla and Partition,  still a precise answer is elusive. There are more than one perspectives.

For instance- can the kartha  C of the joint family of minor coparcener son T and minor coparcener daughter R (they were 10 years old then ) cancel the duly effected partition done on 05-07-2002  seven years later on 13-01-2009 (when the minor coparceners were still just  17years completed and 18 years running  and not complete )? .  

The cancellation was effected, as are read in the cancellation document registered),  with recitals to the effect that from the date of  partition effected  on 05-07-2002 it did not come into forceand and the properties were continued to be enjoyed jointly. Since there are inequalities in the properties mentioned in the partition document ( dated 05-07-2002), and to avert squabbles, we cancel the said partiion by this document (dated 13-01-2009).

And on 01-04-2009, when minor coparceners were still minor with only 17 years completed and was completing  18th year)  the wily elder borther K takes advantage fo drunkard younger brother C and aged illiterate mother M and effects fresh partition with recitals:  

Since tha partition of of 1987, the under mentioned properties allotted to us under ‘B’ schedule as HUF withpotu partition ever. We can not continue to be jointly enjoying any longer and since we desire that  we individually get partitioned, and develop which we unanimously agree, the under mentioned  properties  have been divided  into three parts of  A, B and C.

The facts that there was partition in 2002 and the same was cancelled in Jan 2009 have not been referred to.

There has been shuffle of properties under fresh partition in April 2009. The elder bother K takes properties worth 26.500/- mother is given  rs.500 worth of properties and younger brother C is given properties worth 14.500/ 0nly by value.

Distribution is to the prejudice of two minors coparcener children of C.

Is the cancellation on 13-01-2009 and subsequent partition on 01-04-2009 binding on the minor Coparceners.

C died on 25-03-2011 intestate . His  children  daughter were 19 years old and running 20th year. Now they  are 21 years completed.

How do they succeed – under 2002 partition  or 2009 partition ?

Can e S, the wife of  deceased C and daughter R and son T claim properties under 2002 partition ignoring  the 2009 cancellation and partition?

 

Elucidate, please. Thank you
