Burmese
Buddhist Law of Inheritance

The
rule that inheritance should not ascend when it can descend does not operate in
a competition between relations of the full blood and those of the half blood
of the same degree of relationship to the deceased.

Ref:
A.I.R. 1938 (Rangoon) 74.

the property left by her husband—The defendants fQr whom her husband made the
family arrangement are not his heirs and as such this arrangement is no
arrangement in the eye of law.

Burmese
Buddhist Law

Under
the Burmese Buddhist Law, a Burmese Buddhist cannot make a will—Ext. B is
therefore inadmissible as a will.

According
to Burmese Buddhist law, only the widow of the deceased is the heir—Ext. B can
hardly stand the test of a family arrangement.

Plaintiff
was not a party to the award—The award itself has no legal standing—It is not
binding on the plaintiff.
