Respected Sirs,
My Sister (Our Maid Servant's Daughter) married 7 years back. She has one
Girl Child aged 6 years. Her husband was sentenced to imprisionment for 20 years
under Pocso Act. He is in prision now for 3 years.
She works as a Daily labourer and looks after the child and she stays with
her parents.
She filed a Maintenance case . As her husband is in jail, she asked her in laws
for maintenance.
Her in laws have the following properties.
1. One Acre of land from Ancestral Property
2. 2 Acres. of Agricultural land and 2 Nos. of Houses all self acquired
properties of her Father in law
Her husband is the only Son of the in laws. He is the sole legal heir to his
father's properties.
The in laws say that they donot have source of income to pay maintenance.
My Question is:
1. Whether she is eligible to get maintenance from her Father in law.?
2. Whether She can file a suit for the share in her Father in law's properties?
Please explain
