COURT on the right of Hindu daughters to ANCESTRAL property corrects an obvious anomaly in the interpretation of a crucial 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The change came into effect from September 9, 2005, but with a provision that partitions or testamentary DISPOSITION had taken place prior to December 20, 2004, the date on which the amendment Bill was introduced in the Rajya Sabha.The daughters have been given the right of a coparcener, to bring equality with sons, and the exclusion of daughters from coparcenary was discriminatory and led to oppression and negation of fundamental rights. The Amendment Act, 2005, is not retrospective but retroactive in operation since it enables the daughters to exercise their coparcenary rights on the COMMENCEMENT of the Amendment Act. Even though the right of a coparcener accrued to the daughter by birth, coparcenary is a birthright. HENCE, The Amendment brought about in 2005 to the Hindu Succession Act provided for the Right of women to have an equal share in the family property.
