Collusive Decree on Ancestral Coparcenary Property Void Ab Initio | Birthright as Coparcener Grants Locus to Challenge Without Documentary Proof : Punjab & Haryana HC
Punjab & Haryana High Court rules that a collusive decree transferring ancestral coparcenary property is void from the outset. A coparcener’s birthright alone grants legal standing to challenge such decrees, even in the absence of documentary proof, if oral evidence and conduct establish the property’s ancestral nature. The ruling reinforces the protection of coparcenary rights under Hindu succession law.
