Supreme Court upholds Class I heirs' preferential right over inherited agricultural land, says Section 22 Hindu Succession Act applies to such property

The Supreme Court has held that the preferential right granted to Class I heirs under Section 22 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 extends to inherited agricultural land. Rejecting a challenge to the provision, the Court clarified that the right is an incident of succession and not a standalone right of pre-emption over land transfers.
