Menaka Gandhi Vs. Indira Gandhi and anr.

Court : Delhi

Reported in : AIR1985Delhi114; 1984(7)DRJ238

..... section 21 lays down that notwithstanding any restrictions contained in the indian succession act, 1925, with respect to its application to members of certain communities, succession to the property of any person whose marriage is solemnised under the special marriage act and to the property of the issue of such marriage shall be regulated by the provisions of the indian succession act and for the purposes of section 21 of the special marriage act, the indian succession act shall have effect as if chapter iii of part v (special rules, for parsi intestates) had bisi o.nitted there from. ..... this contention the learned counsel formulated thus; section 21a of the special marriage act, enacted in 1976, does not and cannot affect the provisions of the indian succession act inasmuch as this provision is enacted in a law pertaining to the form of marriage and, thereforee, cannot effect the vested rights guaranteed by the indian succession act. ..... section 20 lays down that subject to the provisions of section 19 any person who marriage is solemnized under the special marriage act shall have the same rights and shall b; subject to the same disabilities in regard to succession to any property as a person to whom the caste disabilities removal act, 1850 applies. ..... section 19 and section 21 shall have no application and so much of section 20 as creates a disability shall also not apply. .....

M vs.A

Court : Delhi

..... hereunder: cm(m) 140/2017 page 9 of 23 section 21 -succession to property of parties married under act - notwithstanding any restrictions contained in the indian succession act, 1925 (39 of 1925), with respect to its application to members of certain communities, succession to the property of any person whose marriage is solemnized under this act and to the property of the issue of such marriage shall be regulated by the provisions of the said act and for the purposes of this act shall have effect as if chapter iii of part v (special rules for parsi section that intestates) had been omitted ..... the reason why section 27 of the act unlike sections 24 and 25 thereof does not contain the words "any marriage solemnized under this act" is not that section 27 was intended to apply to marriages performed under other enactments but because the benefit of it was made available even to those whose marriage though not solemnized under the act was registered under section 15 and thus deemed to have been under the act by operation of section 18. ..... the rights and duties arising out of marriage are governed by the special marriage act and the succession is governed by indian succession act, 1925, and not by the personal laws. 10.8. .....
