GANDURI KOTESHWARAMMA vs CHAKIRI YANADI

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, specifically Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, in determining the rights of daughters in coparcenary property. The Court held that the appellants, being daughters, are entitled to equal shares in the coparcenary properties 'A', 'C', and 'D', thus reversing the High Court's decision that denied them this right. The judgment reaffirmed the legal principle that the 2005 Amendment Act grants daughters equal rights in ancestral property, establishing their entitlement to partition and possession.
