Hindu law r/w
Caste Disability Removal Act, 1850
Bangladesh Laws (Revision and Declaration Act, 1973
It is pertinent to note that Hindu law is religious law, the right to
property is made by that law dependent upon the observance of the tenants
of that faith. Consequently, a lapse from orthodox practices of Hinduism
would under that law entail forfeiture of the caste and all rights to
property and inheritance. Renouncement of religion has a disability, but
after the passing of the Caste Disability Removal Act, 1850 (Act XXI of
1950), change of religion is no ground of exclusion of inheritance. But
after the repealing of the Act XXI of 1850 by the Bangladesh Laws (Revision
and Declaration Act, 1973 (Act No. VIII of 1973) the persons converts into
another religion are now forfeited from the inheritance and from the joint
family property and fathers property. ...Probir Kumar Dey@ Saiful & anr Vs.
