If such decree has been passed before 2005, then you don't have rights.

Your query is a bit ambiguous in the sense that a daughter is treated equal heir along with son and is entitled to equal share in fathers property.

If you are talking of coparcenary then you need to come along with clarity with full detail of facts.

myself(geetha) and my sister filed a suit on our brothers for partion of our fathers property, where our father has not made any will, the following events took place after that

We failed for partition and separate possession in in 1994.

learned principle civil judge of shimoga (karnataka) passed judgement and preliminary decree passed at 12.12.03 and we have been allotted 1/15 th share.

in the view of the amendment to hindu succession act by the parliament of india by virtue of C.A 39/2005, the petitioner is also entitled for an equal share with that of male heirs under section 6 of the hindu succession act

since the decree passed on 12.12.2003 is preliminary one and final decree proceedings is yet to be filed and in the view of hindu succession act (amendment) 2005 has been amended, the
(we) petitioner filed an application under section 151 r/w section 152 of cpc with a prayer to modify the judgements decree to grant equal share instead of 1/15th share


the learned trial judge dismissed the application at 5.6.2008 stating the application filed by the plaintiff has barred by the limitation

As such a writ petition MO. 10926 of 2008 was moved in high court against the above decision.

the honorable high court is of the opinion that we have to challenge the preliminary decree itself seeking the modification of share instead of filing an application for rectification of shares with section 151 & 152 of cpc.

in the view of the above a fresh application was moved in the court at shimoga ( district of karnataka ), court has fined rs 500 for delay in admitting case and the case has been filed once again, its is pending for argument


in the above circumstances we would like to know

possible outcome of the decision
