1. Children /Spouses, legally do NOT derive any right to claim residing rights in Parents /In-Law's house, as a matter of right. This has been upheld in SC judgments.

There is no such clause in the Judgment, as you mentioned.
Re-Read the judgment, once again, this time more S-L-O-W-L-Y.

As per your query there are few concepts of you need to take a look at. Basically, a daughter-in-law of the family does not have any right to the self-acquired property of the in-laws.

A married woman is a member of the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) but not a coparcener. She has a right to the share of the property which her husband has acquired in the HUF property.
If the husband has decided to live separately, then the wife cannot claim rights over the property.

However, under the Domestic Violence Act, the daughter-in-law has a right of residence in the house whether is owned by her in-laws or not and even if her husband does not have any ownership rights in the house.
Moreover, this right continues to exist until the marriage is not dissolved.

Hope It Helps
