Dear Sh. Basavraj,
It is news that the amendement has been deleted. Does it mean that Section 23 is back on the Statute after being ommitted by the amendment of 2005?. Can kkep possession of my house which is in my ocupation without any partition being forced on me from my sisters?
I have been in a soup since my sisters have been seeking Auction of the Property in Chandigarh as in Chandigarh the partition by metes and bounds is not permitted.
Kidly enlighten me on the subject
Thankfully yours,

Dear Mr. Charanjit,
Please try to understand the legislative process.
1. There existed the Hindu Succession Act, 1956.
2. Certain provisions (say Sec. 6) in the HSA 1956 was amended by passing The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005.
3. Once the Amending Act was passed by the parliament and notified by the Govt., the original HSA 1956 stands amended to that extent.
4. After such amendment, now there are two independent Acts (i) HSA 1956 after amendment and (ii) the Amending Act, 2005. Both are standing as independent Acts.
5. After the original HSA 1956 stood amended, there is no purpose and need for the Amending Act, 2005 to stand on the statute book. Its purpose stands already fulfilled. Therefore, it has been repealed.
6. This repealing does not affect the Amended HSA 1956. Thus, the repeal of the Ammending Act, 2005 will not in any way affect the rights of daughters in the family.

It is my considered opinion that an Amending Act requires no repeal.
The objective of an Amending Act is to incorporate the amendments, as amended, in the Enactment(s) concerned. Once the Legislature has passed the Bill and the Act is duly notified, the amendments gets incorporated and the Enactment(s) stands amended. With this Amending Act outlives it purpose.
As such there s no sense, reason or logic in introducing a Bill in the Parliament to repeal a spent Amending Act.
THE REPEALING AND AMENDING ACT, 2015 contains many an Amending Act among the Laws to be repealed. This is an anomalous situation and is prone to create confusion and misunderstanding.

Mr.Charanjit repealing of Hindu Succession Act 2005 little bit it creates confusion. After repeling the said Act, the Original Act remains and go through the same. I appreciate the opinion of Expert Anirud and P.Venu. Thank you
