2. However, if it were to be ancestral property, then the daughter

2. However if it were to be ancestral property, then the daughter will be entitled to have equal share on par with brothers, as per the amendment in 2005 to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, and the father and the daughter should have been alive as on [deleted]. However as per single bench judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, it has been held that, irrespective of father's date of death, the daughter will be entitled to equal share in the ancestral property and there is no need for the father to be alive as on [deleted]. Due to conflict of judgement, the matter has been referred to a 3 bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and it's opinion is awaited.

3.  In the instant case, even though, the daughter's father and mother died in the year 1990 itself, the daughter has to wait for the outcome of decision of 3 bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, if the property is ancestral. If it were to be the self acquired property of her father, the second wife's daughter is entitled to equal share and in this case the daughter can take immediate action to get her share.

As per Supreme Court , now a daughter whether married or unmarried is having equal share in the Ancestral property i.e.  an equal share in such a property accrues by birth itself. Before 2005, only sons had a share in such property. 

- Further , the daughter would not get property rights if the father died before the amendment came into force. 

- Since, father expired before 1995, hence second wife daughter is not having any right to claim over the said property left by deceased father.
