Right of Hindu widow in husband's property

Can a live in partner / girlfriend inherit boyfriend's property ? NO.

There's no statutory provision enabling a girlfriend to inherit property of her live in partner.

There are judicial rulings on granting palimony to a live in partner. These were granted so that middle aged woman with children who has been a live in partner for decades or so are not left cheated by men in the middle of their life or old age. This was with respect to domestic violence laws not inheritance laws.

There is a misguiding rumour being floated that Rhea Chakraborty is entitled to Sushant Singh's property as a live in partner. This is incorrect.

The Apex court in a case held :

"In our opinion not all live in relationships will amount to a relationship in the nature of marriag8e to get the benefit of the Act of 2005. To get such benefit the conditions mentioned by us above must be satisfied, and this has to be proved by evidence. If a man has a `keep' whom he maintains financially and uses mainly for sexual purpose and/or as a servant it would not, in our opinion, be a relationship in the nature of marriage'

( In picture, you see progress in digitisation of court hearings and filings - an urgent need in covid times. ) A civil suit related to property matters can take anywhere between 46 years to 100 years from subordinate courts to Supreme Courts. The fault lies in lofty procedures of civil and criminal procedure codes. - archaic forms of serving summons, sign of judge mandatory on summons - adjournments on notice, summons, etc. - sign of judge mandatory in supplying copy of documents, orders etc for copying section. - execution etc. Suggestions :- A) Copying section - officer / clerk of copying section should be the competent authority to supply certified copies and the same should he done mandatorily within 2 working days. B) Procedure of serving summons/ notice - should be simultaneous instead of consecutive. Electronic summons - email whatsapp courier proclamation publication should be allowed to be done on first hearing itself. There should not be adjournm...

Active Euthanasia/ Medical Will / Advance Medical Directive - Covid 19, Mucormycosis, Cancer, auto immune disorders

The pandemic has shaken all of us to the very core and challenged our core belief. In this write up, I have taken concluding excerpts from Constitution Bench Judgment of The Hon’ble Supreme Court in 2018. Personally, I feel both Active and Passive Euthanasia should be allowed in India and patients should have the right to decide whether they should terminate their life ( Covid 19 / mucormycosis/ cancer/ auto immune disorders …. Etc ). The latest refusal disallowing writ petition of an 81 year old widower suffering from incurable, irreversible rhuematic and other medical issues for active euthanasia, in my humble opinion is nothing but a prolongation of his insufferable pain. At the outset, I declare that suicide is illegal, unlawful and an act of Cowardice. I do not support suicide as life is a miracle in motion. Respect it. I am in favour of assisted medical active euthanasia under supervision of medical practitioner. There should be dignity in death. ...
