I the seller from which you purchased the property had exclusive ownership oer the said property then his sister can not claim any share on it.If no, then she can claim her due share. So without knowing the details of the ownership of your seller it is difficult to comment.

the property was nilamani sahu's fathers property.his sister claims her share only on the patch of land sold by his brother instead of share on the whole property of his brother. if she gets share as per law ,whether the cost of land she gets from her brother or from the purchaser who purchased the land during last 08 years?

If the property was joint and undivided at the time of your purchase the the co sharer can claim her share from any protion of it. You negotiate with your seller so he pays the cos of her share and get a deed of partition executed.
