All children share the rights of ancestral property with their father and his sibblings.  That means all legal heirs of grandfather have a right, and you have a right in your father's share..  Son's widow is having equal rights.  However when son is living, wife can not demand a share in that ancestral property.

However lot of details are required to give any suggestion as Hindu law is a complicated one and requires several facts of relationships.

She is residing with me before filing of DV but not after and matter started 7 years ago. In Interim Maintenance order there was no order for right to reside but after long time she again filed the case and also on the orignal case already stayed from high court.

Pl help.

If a wife wins a Restitution of Conjugal Rights case after being thrown out of her matrimonial residence, is it proof enough to get relief?

Right to reside will be decided at the end means at the time of final judgement and  As stated above if she fails to prove her allegations then no relief.

Judgement of RCR may be helpful if she wins the RCR but still she has to prove the alleged act of curelty for any relief.

When you say it was grandfather's property, was it ancestral or self- acquired? If it is ancestral, it becomes HUF property over which the husband also has rights. If not, then the father alone has right and until and unless the wife was staying there all along, she would have no right to reside. 

Please share any case law.

What is the exact relief that you are seeking? Incase the wife gets an RCR Decree in her favour and the husband dosent allow her entry into the matrimonial home, wife can file execution proceedings under Order 9 Rule 13 in which she can seek attachment of his property.

U mean Order 9 Rule 13 of Domestic Violence Act? In that case the wife needs to file for DV case all over again and this new case will drag for another 6-7 years in court, right? Besides, can the wife get any relief if the matrimonial residence/shared household is owned by the father-in-law and the husband is unemployed?

I don't agree with the above mentioned views , " Winning RCR" has nothing to do with "enterance in matrimonial house".

In simple words RCR means "giving marriage a another chance" which can be given at rented accomadation and not necessarily  in  inlaws house.

And right to reside as per DV Act is " right to live in shared household"
