Depending upon the nature of the properties the widow can file a suit for partition for herself and her children to seek get their shares seperated.

Here, in this case Archana's opinion is considerable. But as per my opinion it is not advisable to file a suit s*xual harassment. However, if there was something like that then it had to be included in the first trial which she had initiated in court. Now, she has only a way to chllenge the verdict of the adalat she has acquired in higher court.

with regards

Madam,

you can file suit for partition for yourself and for your chidren

2. if they are causing any harm, harrashment , you can file a criminal complaint with police station, in case police is not taking action approached to court
