'''The Hindu Inheritance (Removal of Disabilities) Act, 1928''' was enacted to abolish the exclusion from [[inheritance]] of certain classes of heirs, and to remove certain doubts regarding their ability to inherit [[property]]. The Act specifies that persons who are diseased, deformed or physically or mentally handicapped cannot be disqualified from their right to own or share joint-family property unless the law specifies otherwise. This Act essentially abolishes the ancient [[Hindu legal practice]] that those who are handicapped are ineligible to inherit property from their family.<ref>Nagpal, Ramesh C. Modern Hindu Law.
