    Solution

    Shreya Vidyarthi v. Ashok Vidyarthi 2015 (13) SCALE 643 In this case, the Supreme Court of India held that women can also be the manager of a joint Hindu family. The court observed that the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, which governs the devolution of property among Hindus, does not discriminate between male and female heirs. The court noted that the Act recognizes the right of female heirs to inherit property and that this right extends to the management of joint family property as well.
