Section 6 Hindu Succession Act | Daughters Entitled to Coparcenary Rights Retrospectively Even If Father Died Pre-2005: Bombay HC (Nagpur Bench)
Bombay High Court's Nagpur Bench rules that daughters are coparceners by birth under the amended Hindu Succession Act, 2005, regardless of whether their father died before the amendment's effective date. The judgment overturns the prior 'notional partition' approach, ensuring gender-equal inheritance rights in ancestral property for all daughters, irrespective of the father's date of death.
