In one such case, the court has ruled in favour of the daughter, citing the Hindu Succession Act.Let’s read on to know what the case is about:In 1972, the Himachal Pradesh government allotted three bigha and two biswas of agricultural land in Shimla to a person under the Nautor rules for cultivation. Although a revenue assistant handed over possession of the plot, the officials concerned never signed the patta, or the formal land revenue document, for reasons that remain unknown.Following the man’s death in 1990, his wife approached the authorities seeking the patta.
