Allahabad HC Rules Widow's Adopted Son Inherits Deceased Husband's Property Share
The Allahabad High Court ruled that a son adopted by a widow after her husband's death is legally considered the adopted son of the deceased husband and entitled to inherit his property share. The court dismissed a 1983 petition challenging this, referencing Supreme Court precedents including Sawan Ram vs Kalawanti and the Subhash Misir case. The judgment affirmed that such an adopted son inherits the deceased husband's property as his heir, upholding the consolidation authority's decision.
