This query is : Resolved
Dear sir,
By Hindu Succession Act (39of 2005),S.6,wife if alive and daughters have equal right on agriculture property as sons have, if father has expired without leaving any will.
Sir,I am resident of Uttarakhand State.we are two sisters and three brothers along with alive mother.My father has recently expired without leaving any will.After inquiry from Tehsil as well as advocates, they say girls have no right in father's agriculture property in Uttarakhand as well as U.P. from which it is bifurcated.
Sir,I would like to know is the above mentioned statement true?And if it is yes which act is applicable for it so that I could satisfy myself argumentatively.

There are many thread on suc queries by many authors.
UP had UP Land reforms and Zamindari
Abolition Act and there is a clause in it that pertains to agriculture land.
I had posted some judgements in Forum section.
Mr. Sethi is right.
A senior lawyer from UP should be helpful.

After creation of Uttarakhand there appears to be no such fresh legislation. So UP Zamindari Abolition Act 1952 will prevail

answer : In the state of UP and Uttrakhand, hindu succession act is not applied on agricultural land.
In the state of UP, if daughters are unmarried then all have equal shares on agriculture land.
In the state of Uttrakhand, above rules may be applicable.
