1. Assuming that Mr. Ramdas died intestate (without executing a WILL), then the property would devolve equally to a Son and a daughter from 1st wife, Mrs. Lakshmi and her 6 children.

2. In the instant case, 1/9th share each to all the legal heirs.

all legal heirs have an equal right to the property. Class I heirs have the first right and these include the widow, daughters and sons, among others. Each heir is entitled to one part of the property.

Dear Sir,

The principle is that first the property must be divided into two shares one for first wife (deceased) and second for second wife. Their respective children will share in the property fallen to their respective mothers.
