Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma & Ors.

The Supreme Court in "Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma & Ors." clarified that the amendment to Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, which grants daughters equal coparcenary rights, is retroactive. This ensures that daughters are treated as coparceners by birth, irrespective of whether their fathers were alive at the time of the 2005 amendment. This landmark judgment promotes gender equality and fairness in the devolution of ancestral property among Hindus.
