Hindu married daughters do have equal share in her father's self acquired property 

 

if its an ancestral property then the daughter has a legal share in the joint family property only if her father was living on the date on which the Hindu Succession Amendment Act came into force i.e. 9.9.2005

 

if father was not alive on above date then the daughter, whether married or not, cannot claim coparcenory rights in ancestral property

 

however the daughter can claim right if the property was the self acquired property of the father because a daughter is a class 1 legal heir of a Hindu Male under s.8 of Hindu Succession Act - Schedule 1

The Married daughter have equal right in the parental property after the advent of amendment in Hindu Succession Act 1956, that came into force since 9th sept 2005. 

The Hindu Succession Act, 1956, originally didn't give daughters equal rights to ancestral property. This disparity was removed by an amendment that came into force on September 9, 2005.

That is not right. 

In the alternative judgment has been passed that following certain conditions the daughter will have equal share in the property.

No such judgements come from supreme court so far.

 

The Supreme Court of India has said that women do not have the right to inherit ancestral property if their fathers died before September 9th, 2005. The view of the Supreme Court is that amended provisions of the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, do not have retrospective effect. The father would have to be alive on September 09, 2005, if the daughter were to become a co-sharer with her male siblings.

No, it is a wrong notion.

The supreme court has never made any such ruling.

They are applicable only for ancestral nature property
