Your sister is entitled that is the reason why Army paid her the money. No suit can lie against her. On the other hand she has right to her husband's share in ancestral property.

Mother has the right as Class I hier on the property of the son.
Of course that does not include any right over EPF/ Pension etc.

Sanneboina! You might not be aware that our of some benefits, mother has also been provided with some of the benefits by GOI as the deceased was in India Army.
In the given case mother in law has no right to claim even a single penny from the widow and she is fully entitled to retain the entire service cum death benefits irrespective of the fact that her mother in law is already enjoying a luxurious life.

The mother of deceased son has NO right over service benefits of her deceased son and all shall go to your sister such as DSOP and pension etc.
But if deceased had money in Bank a/cs,Fds,post office deposits,or properties,then your sister as widow and her mother in law,as mother have equal sharing rights in deceased's left estate because both are class I heirs under Hindu Succession Act and there is NO WILL left by the deceased.
