PREMA vs NANJE GOWDA .

The Supreme Court addressed whether the appellant could seek an enhancement of her share in joint family property under Section 6A of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, after the preliminary decree had become final. The Court held that Section 6A is not retrospective and cannot be invoked to amend a decree that has already been finalized, thus affirming the lower courts' decisions. The appeal was dismissed, confirming that the appellant's claim for a higher share based on her marriage after the amendment was not valid.
