When Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) took the gavel last fall, there was optimism among all ideological stripes of Republicans that some of the battles of the past could be left behind and that the Republican caucus would be able to return to getting at least the basics done.
Now it appears that House Republicans won’t even be able to pass a budget. That’s quite a turn of events in such a short period of time.

For long, devolution of interest of co-parcenery property was restricted to the male members of the family and only the male members had a right to the ancestral property by birth and demand partition of the Hindu Undivided Family (‘HUF’) property. Hindu women were excluded from these very basic inheritance rights for the obvious vested reasons.
A HUF is a separate entity that is created by members of a family wherein the members are lineal ascendants or descendants. In relation to HUF, a co-parcener is a person who acquires a right in the ancestral property of the HUF by virtue of his birth in the family and has the right to demand partition of HUF property. Prior to the amendment made to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 (‘Act’), this devolution of interest of property was restricted to the male members of the family.
