Section 6 Hindu Succession Act | Daughter’s Coparcenary Rights Retroactively Apply to Pending Partition Suits, But Pre-2004 Testamentary Dispositions Prevail : Madras HC
Madras High Court rules that daughters are entitled to equal coparcenary shares in ancestral property under the 2005 Amendment, even in partition suits pending before the amendment. However, testamentary dispositions made before 20.12.2004 remain valid, overriding statutory changes. The final decree must reflect these legal nuances.
