1. In my opinion “no need to panic”.
2. This Amendment in HMA / SMA needs to be settled eventually by Hon’ble SC very soon on demands of aggrieved parties (mostly I see husband and his side of HUF, siblings) challenging the Amendment all the way to Hon’ble SC.
3. The work load of seasoned ld. Advocates has doubled as Amendment is biased, not clear, ambiguously worded and division in self acquired and/or inherited property is not that easy when simultaneous Amendment to Hindu Succession Act is not carried out.
4. There is another grave area for seasoned ld. Advocates to challenge the Amendment which it is eventually going to leave behind “retrospective or prospective” operation just like Domestic Violence Act which still not decided in tombstone whether DV Act is retrospective or prospective by Hon’ble SC.
