Bombay High Court invokes Section 247 of the Indian Succession Act to appoint a court receiver, restraining property alienation during a probate dispute. The ruling underscores the court's power to protect estate assets from unauthorized transfers, ensuring fair adjudication for all legal heirs.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that daughters cannot challenge property transactions completed by their father before 20.12.2004, as the 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act is prospective. The decision reinforces that pre-amendment alienations remain valid, even if litigation was pending at the time of the amendment.
