Married daughter becomes sole legal heir for father's land without patta, her ownership rights were reject
Himachal Pradesh High Court has quashed an order denying a woman patta for land her father was granted in 1972, ruling that the Nautor Land Rules do not bar married daughters from inheriting land as legal heirs. The court held that a 1980 administrative circular excluding married daughters cannot override statutory rules, and relied on a Supreme Court precedent against gender based exclusion in land allotment.
