It is not the news, but the judgment pronounced by the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

Supreme Court held that, in view of plain language of the statute, there is no scope for a different interpretation than the one suggested by the text of the amendment. Apex Court further held that, an amendment of a substantive provision is always prospective unless either expressly or by necessary intendment it is retrospective. All that is required is that daughter should be alive and her father should also be alive on the date of amendment,2005.

First tell me which state you belong to. Whether ur sister married or not. If married which year she got married. According to central act 2005 ur sister will not be treated as coparcener.

Important thing here is the State where you belong which many are missing. For Mitakshara states daughter will not get if father died before the enactment of Amended Act, 2005.

For Dayabhaga states same as before i.e. son and daughter get equal share regardless of anything. But daughter cannot invoke partition or stay in father's house while married if father died before the enactment of the Amended Act.
