If she is your sister through your father's first wife, then, YES she being a legal heir is entitled to inherit her share in the properties (both immovable and movable) left by your father.

in case, her mother was legal wedded wife of your father, she can claim equal share with other legal heirs of your father.

IF you yourself say that she is your sister ,may be little known, how can you deny her rights.Talk to her and give her just share to avoid bitterness and to achieve peace. It is very much possible that she may settle her claim in less if you acknowledge your sister,be generous .Ghanshyam Mishra 9899794006

In your first post, you said that "once my father told us that he had another wife who is no more, and he introduced one lady as his daughter".
Now you say that you are the children of your father's first wife.
Both the above statements are quite contradictory.
Just because the said lady did not stay with you, does not mean that she is not your sister, especially when your father himself had introduced her as his daughter.
Apart from this, what proof the lady has to say that she is also a daughter of your father. Please indicate. If she has sufficient proof to claim that she is a daughter of your father, as already indicated by me herein above, she will also be entitled to equal share in the property left behind by your father.
