In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains why a grandchild (pota) does not inherit from a deceased grandparent if their own parent (the son or daughter of the deceased) is still alive. If the son is alive, the grandchild does not receive inheritance. However, if the son is deceased, the grandchild can inherit, as the inheritance would pass to the next line. He also explains that while the grandchild may not inherit, they can receive a gift or will from the grandparent during their lifetime, within legal limits.
