on death of father all his legal heirs would have 1/3rd share in self acquired property . it appears partition deed was executed wherein son got 2/3rd share and mother 1/3rd share in property . on mother death her 1/3rd share has devolved son and daughter equally . it would be self acquired property of son . similarly on daughter relinquishment share received would be self acquired and not ancestral .

1. In terms of the partition deed, the share which son S got is his self acquired property.

2. Similarly, the share relinquished by daughter in the property of her mother W in favour of her brother is the self acquired property of son S.
