Karnataka High Court (2026): grandfather's self-acquired property allotted to the father in a partition is not 'ancestral', so the daughter has no coparcenary right

A Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court held in June 2026 that property a grandfather self-acquired, and which fell to the father in a family partition, remains the father's separate and individual property — it does not take on the character of ancestral property in his hands, and a daughter therefore has no coparcenary right in it by birth. A digest of the holding and the settled line of Hindu-law authority it rests on.
