Property was inherited by her from her parent or parents, it shall not pass to her husband or to her husband's heirs where she dies without children or children of predeceased children.

Bhimadas and others v. P.Kanthamma (died) and others 

AIR 1974 Andhra Pradesh 266 

has accepted the proposition, relying upon the text by Prof.J.Duncan M. Derrett in his 'Introduction to Modern Hindu Law' in paragraph 622 which is extracted as below: "The exceptions to the general rule are motivated by a clear (and traditional) desire that property shall not pass from family to family merely by a female's death intestate. Where property was inherited by her from her parent or parents, it shall not pass to her husband or to her husband's heirs where she dies without children or children of predeceased children
