The Hon’ble Supreme Court has recently passed a judgment in respect of whether the amendment of 2005 to the Hindu Succession Act (“The Amendment Act”) is prospective or retrospective. It has passed the said judgment in a bunch of Petitions on 16th October 2015. The Judgment is passed by the Bench of Justice Anil R. Dave and Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court, in the said judgment held as under:
“Rights under the amendment are applicable to living daughters of living coparceners as on 9th September, 2005 irrespective of when such daughters are born. Disposition or alienation including partitions which may have taken place before 20th December, 2004 as per law applicable prior to the said date will remain unaffected. Any transaction of partition effected thereafter will be governed by the Explanation.”
To conclude in a nutshell, as to whether the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, will have a retrospective or prospective effect, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that all that is required is that daughter should be alive and her father should also be alive on the date of the amendment.

The amendment to HSA in the year 2005 has no retrospective effect. The coparcenery rights to women prior to 2005 are not available. What is your question? Come out with facts and revelation of your name.
