Son lost father’s property as step-mom gives it away
In the recent Supreme Court case, a son's claim to fully inherit his late father's property was dismissed, upholding his stepmother's right to the property. The case involved Mr. Ganapati from Terdal village in Karnataka. Mr. Ganapati's father, Mr. Gangaram, passed away in 1949, and his stepmother, Mrs. Kashibai, died in 1986. Before her death, Kashibai executed a Will giving the properties to her daughter Shakuntala (Ganapati's stepsister).
Upon the mutation records update in Shakuntala's name, Ganapati realized the ownership change and objected to it, filing a lawsuit.
