Commissioner of Income-tax, AIR 1970 SC 1343: (1971) 1 SCR 237: (1970) 2 SCC 48.The expression 'Hindu undivided family' in the Income-tax Act is used in the sense in which a Hindu joint family is understood under the various schools of Hindu law (see Attorney-General of Ceylon v. Ar. Arunachalam Chettiar (1958) 34 ITR 42: 1957 AC 540) and Gowli Buddanna v. CIT. (supra). In the case of CIT v. Rm. Are.

Members of family
Members of family, a son-in-law can be regarded as a member of the family because the word 'family' is not to be construed in a narrow sense or meaning only a member of a Hindu joint family. In Webster's New Word Dictionary one of the meanings of family is 'a group of people related by blood or marriage, relatives'. A person can, therefore, be properly regarded as being the member of his wife's family and not merely of his father's family, S.N. Sudalaimuthu Chettiar v. Palanyindavan, AIR 1966 SC 469 (470): (1966) 1 SCR 450. [Tamil Nadu Cultivating Tenants Protection Act, 1955 (25 of 1955), s. 2(a)]...
