[...] Clause 107.—We have adopted the provisions regarding the law of _sucession to the property of a Hindu woman except that we have grouped the husband and the children of the intestate together on the analogy of succession to the property of a male. [...] Clause I of the original Bill sought to abrogate the rule of survivorship in regard to the interest in joint family of a male co-parcener dying after the commencement of the Code; It left existing co-parcenaries intact during the life time of the co-parceners. [...] (0) A comparison of the list of heirs to a mule in Clauses 4 to 10 of the original Bill and those in Clauses 98 to 109 and the Seventh Schedule of the re-drafted Bill shows that very material changes have been made in the line of heirs and the order of their succession. [...] The mass of opinion and the majority is against most of the provisions of the Bill and the Bill seeks to alter the fundamental struture of Hindu Society.
