the confirmation deed must have been translated and contents explained to the daughters ? the deed must be containing an endorsement to that effect .
if deed mentions that they have received cash and they have duly acknowledged receipt of cash they have weak case . in this suit evidence of grand mother will be crucial . whether payment of cash has been mentioned by grand mother in her income tax returns ? whether daughters have shown same in income tax returns ?

A lot depends upon the contents of the deed and the evidences of witness on it and other witnesses.

The daughters have a very weak case. Ignorance of law cannot be claimed as an excuse so as to the contents of the deed, i.e., if they have signed it before the registrar, whether they never suspected any foul intention then, very hard to believe.
