The Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act,1956 section 19 provides for the maintenance of widowed daughter in law. The provision of the law is for providing maintenance after the death of husband by her father in law not grand father in law. Secondly, such daughter in law can claim maintenance if she is unable to maintain herself out of her own earning or other property or unable to obtain maintenance from the estate of her husband or her father or mother. Thirdly, this obligation shall not be enforceable if the father in law has not the means to do so from any coparcenary property in his possession out of which the daughter in law has not obtained any share and finally, any such obligation shall cease on the remarriage of the daughter in law.
In the present case the grand daughter in law is seeking maintenance from the grand father in law. This woman has already taken her deceased husband's property and her own istridhan and is not living with the deceased husband's family.
The grand father is by no means obliged to provide maintenance to this woman under this provision of law as he is not her father in law, secondly the woman has already taken her husband's property with her.
Apart from this the woman cannot seek any share in the self acquired property of the grandfather during his lifetime.

The aged grandfather may record all threats, demands of money, handover of her share in all estate of deceased husband, disturbance in his peaceful living of grandfather.
This should come handy to rescue the aged grandfather.
There are helpline numbers for senior citizens in SP/Police Commissioner.

No liability of grandparents in-law.
Consult a local lawyer for further proceeding.
