M. Sathishkumar vs Subbanna Gounder
32. Eventhough the judgment of the three-Judge Bench of the
Apex Court in Vineeta Sharma's case (cited supra) ruling that the
provisions of the substituted Section 6 of the Hindu Succession
(Amendment) Act, 2005 are required to be given full effect,
notwithstanding that a preliminary decree has been passed, because the
daughters are to be given share in coparcenary property equal to that of a
son in pending proceedings for final decree or in an appeal and also has a
binding force, in the case on hand, the appellants/plaintiffs are not
entitled to any share in the suit properties, as the registered partition
between the respondents 1 to 5 has been effected before the cut-off date
20.12.2004 i.e., on 08.06.2004 i.e., before the Hindu Succession
(Amendment) Act came into force on 09.09.2005. Hence, this Court
holds that the trial Court has rightly dismissed the suit.
