Explanation:
Section 15(2)(a) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, provides a special rule of succession for property inherited by a female Hindu from her parents. In the absence of her own children (including pre-deceased children's offspring), such property devolves upon the heirs of her father, not her husband or general heirs under Section 15(1).
