Male Heir
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Male heir, the use of the words 'male heirs' in a Will do not import any limitation. According to the rule of construction such an expression would be rejected as having no effect in absence of any indication of contrary intention. There is no reason under the Indian Law why a different effect should be given to that expression in a deed of family settlement, Dadabhoy Framji Cama v. Cowasji Dorabji Pandey, AIR 1925 PC 306.
