Section 5 of SDMP Act, 1893 : Section 5: Mansion-House Limited To The Use Of The Baronet For The Time Being

Explanation using Example

Imagine there is a grand property in Mumbai, known as "Petit Hall," which belonged to Sir Dinshaw Manockjee Petit. According to Section 5 of The Sir Dinshaw Manockjee Petit Act, 1893, this property is to be held in trust with specific conditions. Sir Dinshaw enjoys the use of Petit Hall for his lifetime.

After Sir Dinshaw's passing, if his son Framjee Dinshaw Petit outlives him, Framjee will have the right to use the property for his lifetime. Should Framjee have any sons who inherit the baronetcy, the property will then be held in trust for these male heirs.

If Framjee has no male heirs who inherit the title, or once there are no more male heirs of Sir Dinshaw holding the title, the property reverts to Sir Dinshaw's heirs and assigns. They can then sell or bequeath the property as they wish, provided the baronetcy still exists and there are no male heirs of Sir Dinshaw's body entitled to it.

This specific law governs the succession of a historic property within a family lineage, tying the inheritance to the possession of a hereditary title.
