It would not apply in your case since you father passed away in 1996 itself much prior to the amendment act came into force. Section 6 (3) makes it clear that the father should be a alive for the daughter to claim coparcenery right.

Since your father passed away in 1996, the disposition had taken place by operation of law, viz the succession had opened up and therefore, the daughters are not entitled to equal share
