A bigger HUF consist of karta, his only son, son’s wife and their minor male child. Son of the karta is also having a smaller HUF consisting of he himself as karta, his wife and a minor son. Karta of the bigger HUF expired leaving behind the only son who now became the karta of erstwhile bigger HUF, now the karta of the bigger HUF and smaller HUF are the same persons.
Now the question arises that whether both of the HUF will be merged up into one HUF as karta of both the HUF are same or both of the HUF will continue to remain separate as before.
