It is not the news, but the judgment pronounced by the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

Supreme Court held that, in view of plain language of the statute, there is no scope for a different interpretation than the one suggested by the text of the amendment. Apex Court further held that, an amendment of a substantive provision is always prospective unless either expressly or by necessary intendment it is retrospective. All that is required is that daughter should be alive and her father should also be alive on the date of amendment,2005.
