2022 SCMR 1647
Inheritance---Legal heir/co-sharer---Legal heirs become owner and at the same time co-sharers in the property left by a deceased Muslim---Possession of a co-sharer is considered as a possession on behalf of all other co-sharers---Even the rights of a co-sharer with symbolic possession were safeguarded---No Limitation runs against a co-sharer/co-owner---However, in certain cases law of Limitation involving matter of inheritance cannot be ignored altogether---Where the predecessor/propositus transfers his property by way of sale, gift etc. in his lifetime and after his death, the legal heirs claim right of inheritance regarding said property after lapse of considerable time by questioning such transfer, the question of Limitation cannot be ignored lightly
