All India Bar Examination (AIBE) 5-V Previous Year Question Papers with Answers

The correct option is D: Hindu Succession Amendment Act 2005.

This is because this Act amended Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, which deals with the devolution of interest in coparcenary property, or property inherited by a Hindu man from his father, grandfather, or great grandfather. The amendment gave daughters the same rights and liabilities as sons in the coparcenary property, by birth or by adoption. It also made daughters eligible to become coparceners and karta (manager) of the joint family property. The amendment was intended to remove the discrimination against daughters in the Hindu law and to empower them with equal rights in the ancestral property.

Option A is incorrect because there is no such Act as Hindu Succession Amendment Act 2002. The Hindu Succession Act was amended only once in 2005.

Option B is incorrect because the Hindu Succession Amendment Act 1976 does not exist. The Hindu Succession Act was amended only once in 2005.

Option C is incorrect because the Hindu Succession Amendment Act 1978 does not exist. The Hindu Succession Act was amended only once in 2005.
