You appear to be referring to the Supreme Court judgment in the case of Prakash v. Phulavati, (2016) 2 SCC 36, which was quoted in a Tilak Marg Forum answer given at the following link: Hindu daughters cannot inherit property if father died before 2005.
This judgment related to devolution of interest in coparcenary property in a Joint Hindu family governed by the Mitakshara law. Please read the above Tilak Marg Forum answer where it is explained in detail.
In so far as general law of succession amongst Hindus is concerned, it is governed by the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, under which daughters are equally entitled to property of their father or mother. This is in spite of whether the death of father took place prior to 2005 or thereafter. Please see sections 8 along with the Schedule of the said Act; and also see section 15 thereof.
General law of succession amongst Hindus should not be confused with devolution of interest in coparcenary property in a Joint Hindu family to which the above SC rule was applicable.
