Section 156Chapter XVI

Ademption pro tanto by testator's receipt of portion of entire fund of which portion has been specifically bequeathed

OF ADEMPTION OF LEGACIES

If a portion of an entire fund or stock is specifically bequeathed, the receipt by the testator of a portion of the fund or stock shall operate as an ademption only to the extent of the amount so received; and the residue of the fund or stock shall be applicable to the discharge of the specific legacy. A bequeaths to B one-half of the sum of 10,000 Taka due to him from W. A in his lifetime receives 6,000 Taka, part of the 10,000 Taka. The 4,000 Taka which are due from W to A at the time of his death belong to B under the specific bequest.
