Married Daughters can inherit father's property, says SC




 

In an order, the Supreme Court of India has said that a father has the right to give his property to his married daughter, instead to his wife and son.
This observation came in a case where West Bengal Co-operative society denies transferring a flat to a married daughter after the death of his father.

Vishwa Ranjan Sengupta spends his last days of his life with her married daughter, as his wife and son do not take care of him.

After his death, his wife and son go to Purvanchal Housing Estate (Salt Lake, Kolkata) for transfer of the ownership of a flat he owns. His daughter also claimed the flat, but the society denies citing its rules.

Against it daughter Indrani filed a case in High Court. In its ruling Court ordered her a joint holder with her mother and brother. She moves Supreme Court against this order and filed an appeal.

The Supreme Court ordered that married daughter can also be a shareholder of the family’s property and the flat can be transferred in her name.
