Ganduri Koteshwaramma & Anr vs Chakiri Yanadi & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the benefits of the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, which amended Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, are applicable to the appellants, entitling them to equal shares in coparcenary properties. The Court emphasized that the amendment allows daughters to be treated as coparceners by birth, thus granting them rights to partition. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, affirming the trial court's ruling that the appellants are entitled to 1/4th share each in the properties `A', `C', and `D`.
