Judges cite Section 25, stress fairness
The judges pointed to Section 25 of the Hindu Succession Act, which blocks anyone who commits or abets murder from getting the victim's property.
They also said decisions like these should be based on fairness and justice, not just technicalities, so that no one profits from their own wrongdoing.
This ruling came while reviewing a Karnataka inheritance dispute tied to an ongoing criminal case.
