Children can not have birthright to fathers self-acquired property even if he got it via gift, Will, family arrangement or partition in this case; Know what Mitakshara Hindu law says

A recent ruling clarifies children's birthright in inherited property. Mitakshara Hindu law states self-acquired property does not grant automatic birthrights. The source of the father's title determines if property is ancestral or self-acquired. Children can still inherit self-acquired property through succession laws or a Will. This ruling impacts claims based solely on birthright in such cases.
