Daughter has the right to claim share frim her mother

You will have to engage a lawyer based in that city.

the court has usually observed that claim can not be made after 12 years.

The 2005 amendment does not have any role in your case.

Sc judgment is only in respect of ancestral property

2) it is not applicable to self acquired property of deceased father

3) after passage of Hindu Succession act 1956 daughters have equal share in father self acquired property

4) you must contact lawyer in Ahemdnagar only . fees for out station lawyers for each date would burn a big hole in your pocket

All the heirs have right over that property equally

For partition suit there is no limitation prescribed by law.

The amendment in 2005 giving right to daughters to claim equal share in father's property applies to ancestral property only. The daughters have all along equal right of share in respect of self acquired proeprty of father.

You have not specified whether it is an ancestral or self acquired property.

As per S.6 of the succession act, the daughter of a coparcener shall by birth become a coparcener in her own right the same manner as the son.

Also, S.6(1)(c) states that nothing contained in this sub-section shall invalidate any disposition or alienation including any partition or testamentary disposition of property which had taken place before 20-Dec-2004.

If the property has been transferred to you prior to 20-Dec-2004, then she cannot lay claim over the property.

Yes, there is a limitation period of 20 years to contest the partition or transfer of inherited property, and also there is a latest Supreme Court judgement which says that daughter can only claim if the father dies after 2005.

Yes I can fight your case and fees would be 10000K for per hearing excluding the first fees of case filling I.e 20000K plus traveling expenses from your side.

As per the Hindu succession act, 2005(Amendment) the daughter also have equal rights like son in the ancestral property. A daughter would have the right in the ancestral property inherited by her father only if both the daughter and father were alive at the time of commencement of the Amendment Act i, e 05.09.2005. At the same time, if the ancestral properties were disposed of, settled or partitioned prior to 05.09.2005 such disposal cannot be questioned by the daughters. In your case is concern, father already settled the property in your favour of his son by way of transfer prior to the year of 1959. Thereafter, his son settled the property infavour his mother and she inturn settled the very same property infavour of her son. Therefore, the daughter cannot claim her share in the ancestral property on the sole reason that her father was deceased prior to 2005. In case, if it is a self acquired property of your grand father and if he had not settled or alienate the property infavour of his son during his life time then she can claim share in her father's self acquired property.

Sir if your father died before 2005 your sisters can't claim partition.... Secondly limitation for seeking partition is 12 years ....Ask your llawyer to fIle an application under order 7 rule 11 seeking for rejection of plaint as suit is barred by law and limitation...

Actually the property belonged to the father and upon his intestate death the same devolved equally on all his legal heirs namely his wife, sons and daughters.

Therefore the property transferred in the name of son after his death was illegal and invalid in law because the daughter also has a right to her share in the property.

The subsequent transfers or transactions in the property are not binding on the daughter who now claims her 1/6th share in the property.

She is entitled to an equal share in the property that was left behind by her deceased father.

What is exact present situation after the amendment of original law of succession 56. , after 9th Sept. 2005 and 2015.

The intestate succession is governed by the Hindu succession act 1956, as per that the daughters are entitled to equal rights in their father's properties at par with the sons.

What are favourable Supreme court and other courts judgments in my favour?.

The provisions of law in this regard is very clear that yor sister is entitled to an equal share to that of yours in your deceased father's properties.

You cannot avoid that.

Is there any time bar for filing such kind of cases and how far it is useful in my case?.

The partition suit is not barred by limitation, she can file the suit anytime.

Can you fight this case as my lawyer, at Ahmednagar Maharastra.? and what will be your fees.?

You cannot ask in general to all lawyer, you can select one and engage his/her services on terms.

Latest supreme court judgement in 2018 states that women born before the amendment date is also liable for the share in the property. So she has a right up share in the same

You can try and show lacunas in the suit filed by her and try to win the case.
