Now Daughters have also Right to HUF Property even if their Father died before 2005

The Supreme Court ruled in favour of rights of daughters to have a share 

in a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) property in a landmark judgment. 

A three-judge bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra, comprising of Justice S Abdul Nazeer and Justice MR Shah held that daughters will have also right in the parental property in accordance with the 2005 amendment in the Hindu Succession Act.

The supreme court of india held that daughters' rights are absolute after the amendment in Hindu Succession Act and that she would have the right of inheritance irrespective of whether the father was alive at that time of the amendment or not, it's doesn't matter. 

This clarification is important since it sets aside a clutch of previous decisions by the top court, it's most important to note that she would have the coparcenary right only if both the father and the daughter were alive as on September 9, 2005 when the amendment was notified.

The bench cited the objective of the amendment to say that daughters were to be given a right in the HUF as a coparcenary, equal to a son, and that such conditions go against the spirit of the amendment carried out.

This judgment has now settled the ambiguity around the nature and extent of a daughter’s rights to an Hindu Undivided Family property. The bench asked the courts concerned, where several matters remained pending for want of an authoritative ruling by the Supreme Court of India, to take up and dispose them of within six months.

The above said matter has to more important to empowerment of the women's, as per law all are equal.
