IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE TWENTIETH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.2699 of 2009 Between: Neerukonda Kasulamma ..... PETITIONER (S) AND Thagarampudi Pydithalli and others .....RESPONDENT(S) THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.2699 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioner who is the 1st defendant filed this revision under Article 227 of the Constitution of India inter alia seeking to assail the correctness of the order allowing the application purported to have been filed by the 1st respondent under Order VI Rule 17 of C.P.C. read with Section 151 C.P.C. with a prayer to amend the plaint. Heard both sides. Perused the material available on record. The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 amended Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, allowing daughters of the deceased equal rights as sons. In the case of coparcenary property, or a case in which two people inherent property equally between them, the daughter and son are subject to the same liabilities and disabilities. The amendment essentially furthers equal right between males and females in the legal system. In view of the amendment to Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, I am of the opinion that the learned Judge has rightly allowed the application filed by the plaintiff for amendment of the plaint. The impugned order does not suffer from any infirmity warranting interference by this Court and the revision petition is devoid of merits. Therefore, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. 20th August 2010 CVRK
