Supreme Court

Indrani Wahi v. Registrar of Coop. Societies & Ors.

10.03.2016

Property

Married daughter continues to ‘belong to father’s family’

Deceased father can nominate property to married daughter under Rules 127 and 128 of the West Bengal Co-operative Societies Rules, 1987. The court accepted rulings of the lower courts that a married daughter, Appellant, remained “belonging to his [deceased’s] family” for the purposes of the rules. As such, a cooperative society was enjoined to transfer deceased’s share to Appellant, for nothing invalidated the nomination.
