An old lady who is a family friend is suddenly being evicted by her daughter-in-law who lives away on her own/with her parents. The lady's deceased husband had funded for the purchase of the flat in which the couple and now the widowed wife is living. Her deceased husband had purchased and registered the flat in his son's name and had no where included his wife's name. There is no documentary proof that the flat was purchased by the deceased father . Now the son is dead and the daughter-in-law lives away with her child and does not have any association with her in-laws. But since the deceased son was a defence officer, the WILL automatically reverts to his wife i.e. the daughter-in-law. Using this as an authority, now she wants her mother-in law to vacate from the house in which she had always been living or otherwise, is demanding market rent. Please throw some light on this so that the helpless lady can be guided. The property is under the cantonment and has an AWHO society formed. There is an issue with the transfer from the society as they say a no-objection is required from the daughter-in-law, which iss next to impossible.
