New Delhi – The Supreme Court has set aside the order of the Himachal Pradesh High Court and ruled that the Hindu Succession Act 1956 (HSA) cannot be applied to Scheduled Tribes (Tribals). The Himachal Pradesh High Court had ruled in 2015 that daughters would get the right to ancestral property under the Hindu Succession Act and not according to traditional tribal customs in Scheduled Tribe dominated areas.
The Supreme Court said that the Hindu Succession Act will not apply to any member of a Scheduled Tribe unless the Union Government issues directions by publishing a notification in the Gazette.
