inheritance in respect of a property owned by a Mohammedan female

[bpagrawal]

Mohammedan Law does not make any distinction for the purposes of inheritance in respect of a property owned by a Mohammedan female or male,

Mohammedan  Law   does
not make any distinction for the purposes of inheritance in
respect of a property owned by a Mohammedan female or
male,   like   one   which   exists   under   the   provisions   of
Sections 8 and 15 of the Hindu Succession Act, prescribing
different modes of  succession to the property of a Hindu

male and female.  The property of a Mohammedan female
dying   intestate   will,   therefore,   be   governed   by   the   same
rules of inheritance and  succession, as if it  is  a property
owned by a Mohammedan male dying intestate.  In view of
this, though the  uterine  brothers  and  sisters  are the  real
sons  and  daughters  of the  same mother, they  cannot  be
classified   as   'Residuaries'   under   Section   65   of   the
Mohammedan Law to inherit the estate of their mother, but
they are to be classified as 'Sharers' under Section 63 of the
Mohammedan  law,  as  if they  are  inheriting the  estate  of
putative father.   Hence, the substantial question of law is
answered accordingly
