https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=357164 The amended Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 confers on a daughter of a Mitakshara coparcener the status of coparcener in her own right, with the same rights and liabilities as a son, and applies to living daughters of living coparceners on the commencement date regardless of birth before 2005. The earlier rule of survivorship and the fiction of notional partition under the unamended provision do not defeat this statutory change. In pending partition proceedings, rights are finally worked out only at the final decree stage, so a preliminary decree does not prevent application of the amended law. Daughters were therefore entitled to coparcenary rights and a share in joint family property. en-us Thu, 01 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 10:23:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=357164 The amended Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 confers on a daughter of a Mitakshara coparcener the status of coparcener in her own right, with the same rights and liabilities as a son, and applies to living daughters of living coparceners on the commencement date regardless of birth before 2005.
