Case Analysis: Vineeta Sharma V. Rakesh Sharma (2020) 9 SCC 1




Sanchaali Chakravorty & Pranav Ramakrishnan, O.P. Jindal Global University

ABSTRACT

In Hindu Classical law, only sons of the family are considered coparceners and have a birth right to property. The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 changed the rule to give the daughters their birth right to family property by considering them as coparceners as well. This Act, although a step in the right direction, came with a lot of questions about whether it could be applied retroactively/ retrospectively. These question were only cleared by the landmark case of “Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma”.
