Daughters Born Before 2005 Have Equal Rights To Ancestral Property: SC @1              The issue of succession equality and rights for women has been extremely important and perhaps controversial in recent times. However, it is very heartening to see that our Indian Courts have continued to adopt a pro-women approach in a number of legal aspects, one of the most important of which is in relation to ancestral properties. I n a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of India (“SC”) upheld the right of a daughter to be entitled to an equal share as a son in an ancestral property, including daughters who were born before the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 (“HSA”) came into force.

Many felt that the original law that relied on “seisin” was difficult to establish, and around 1623 a statute of limitation was put into place that allowed for a person in possession of property for twenty years or more to acquire title to that property.

The United States has also changed the traditional doctrine by preventing the use of adverse possession against property held by a governmental entity. During he colonial period, prior to the enactment
