Section 6 Hindu Succession Act | Daughters' Coparcenary Rights Cannot Be Defeated by Unrecorded Partition: Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh High Court reaffirms that daughters' coparcenary rights under the 2005 amendment to Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act are absolute and cannot be extinguished by informal partitions or revenue mutations without explicit, documented relinquishment. The ruling reinforces equal inheritance rights for daughters, invalidating undocumented family settlements that seek to bypass statutory protections.
