The judgment holds significance as the SC held that rights under the amendment are applicable to living daughters of living coparceners as on September 9, 2005, irrespective of when they were born.
In 2018, a Supreme Court bench had said the amended Hindu Succession Act of 2005 stipulated that a daughter would be a 'coparcener' since birth, and have the 'same rights and liabilities' as a son.
With this, daughters got equal rights in their ancestral assets. The Supreme Court also clarified that the law applied to all daughters, irrespective of whether they were born before or after the coming of the law.
