Section 31 of HSA : Section 31: Repealed

Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where a Hindu man passed away in 1959, leaving behind property that needed to be distributed among his heirs. At that time, the rules for succession would have been governed by the Hindu Succession Act of 1956. However, certain provisions of this Act, including Section 31, were repealed in 1960. So, if the same situation occurred after the 26th of December, 1960, the distribution of the deceased's property would no longer be subject to the repealed Section 31. Instead, the distribution would be governed by the updated provisions of the Hindu Succession Act, as amended by the Repealing and Amending Act of 1960.
