My father passed away in 1991, leaving behind shares in several companies. I’ve heard that only sons have a claim on these shares, and daughters don’t have equal rights. Is this true? I understand the Supreme Court ruling might impact this, since my father died before 2005. Could you explain the legal situation clearly?

This is not true. The Supreme Court ruling in 2005 declared that daughters have equal inheritance rights as sons in ancestral property, regardless of when the father passed away. Since your father died in 1991, this ruling applies, and you are entitled to an equal share of the shares in the companies.
