The path demonstrated to you is the right way to go ahead.engage a local lawyer.then reply notice.If only her mother was recorded then did you search the title of past how her mother got it ?did she got it inherited as widow of her father??It may be an issue subject to muslim personal law which in my knowledge apply even to agricultural law in KARNATAKA, to my knowledge.

The daughter does have share in the land. You better the pay her share on protest and then recover the same from your vendors on the strength indemnity clause.
