Feb 12, 2018

Prof. Kanti Kumar Kochar, Retired Dean of Law, MDS University, Ajmer delivered a Guest Lecture on “Law on equal rights of Hindu daughters over ancestral property under Hindu succession act 1956” at RNB Global University, Bikaner. During the discussion Prof. Kochar discussed many concepts of Hindu Succession Act with special ref. to equal rights of Hindu daughters over ancestral property. She also emphasized on judgment of Supreme Court of India in the case of Prakash & ors.  Vs. Phulavati & ors. (2016)2 SCC 36 in which Apex Court of our country held that the rights under the amendment are applicable to living daughters of living coparceners as on 9-9-2005 irrespective of when such daughters are born. Disposition or alienation including partitions which may have taken place before 20-12-2004 as per law applicable prior to the said date will remain unaffected. This gave a sound footing to this philosophy which can be considered to be golden move in the direction of gender justice in so far as the Indian scenario is concerned.
The speech of Prof. Kochar was followed by an interactive session with students as well as faculty members. Students were overwhelmed to gain the knowledge of law. The insightful session was concluded with vote of thanks to the speaker. Such a informative sessions, packed with statistical figures, acts as an inspiration for the budding law professionals to work towards such dimensions.
