Regard being had to the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, which of the following statements is not correct?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The proviso to section 6(1) of the Hindu Succession Act, as amended in 2005, saves any disposition or alienation, including a testamentary disposition, made before 20 December 2004; so the statement that the daughter's right "is not lost by any testamentary disposition of property which had taken place before the 20th day of December, 2004" is not correct. A preliminary decree for partition is not a final partition, so it does not defeat the daughter's right (Ganduri Koteshwaramma v Chakiri Yanadi, 2011). The statements on section 14(1) and section 14(2) correctly describe the enlargement of a pre-existing limited interest and the restricted estate created for the first time by an instrument or decree.
