C.A. No. 2844/2011

REVANASIDDAPPA VS MALLIKARJUN

The Supreme Court held that children born out of void or voidable marriages are entitled to a share in their parents' ancestral properties. The Court clarified that such children are not coparceners in the ancestral property (a person who shares equally with others in the inheritance of an undivided property) and cannot claim an equal share in the ancestral property in their own right. However, children from void and voidable marriages are entitled to a right in their parents’ share of the ancestral property. The judgment of the Court was authored by Chief Justice Chandrachud.
