Hi,
My Grand father had 1 Son & 3 Daughters and he had some ancestral & self aquired property (agricultural land).
he distributed his properties to his childern as follows.
1st Daughter: Rs 18,000/- during wedding in 1973 but this isn't documented and no other property given.
2nd Daughter: 6.5 Acres of Ancestral property at the time of marriage in 1978.
3rd Daugher: 5.5 Acres of Self aquired property at the time of marriage in 1983.
My grand father was left with 23 Acres of land after his 3 daughters marriages were done.
My grand father and his son partitioned in the presense of elderly people with equal share of 11.5 Acres for each and the Son got the 11.5 Acres of Ancestal property
and My grand father kept his share of 11.5 Acres of self aquired property and this partition was not documented.
the above said properties were transferred to the concerned persons as and when given and the land Title-Deeds were granted from the Revenue Dept.
My grand father and 2nd Daughter used to stay together and cultivate their land for 30 years.
Due to personal reasons, my grand father sold 3 Acres from his share.
after few years, the Son has created a set of forged documents and acquired 6.5 Acres of My grand father's remaining share.
My grand father raised a Civil suit and made a WILL to give away 8 Acres + House to his 2nd daughter upon his death
and added his 2nd daughter as a party to fight the suit in case he dies.
My grand father died in 2011, 4 years after raising the Civil suit. and his 2nd daughter took the suit to the logical end by winning the suit.
Now the first daugheter is claiming for her share of all the properties that my grand father had (32 Acres + House) and
She also claims a share from My Grand Mothers properties of 3 Acres of land (which she got from her brother during her marriage) and a house?
How much share can first daughter claim legally in case she has to be given some share?
So please provide your inputs about how to go forward on this suit?
Thanks,
Poorna
