2. How did you infer that the conyance deed was made on the basis of fake will? Did you challange, if yes?
3. Under which provision of law grand children have been seeking dispossession of DIL?
4.How did you find that the Gift deed executed by Father-in-law, was made under duress? Did you challange, if so?
Every document is under the cloud of suspicion, is it correct?

Daughter in law (DiL) had been recognised by FiL as the Occupier in perpetuity in one of his unregistered memorandum and she came to possess the house immediately after it construction that was initiated about two years after her joining this family in marriage (May 1969)- can it be claimed as her matrimonial house as entire family was living as tenant at the time of marriage; DDA was the lessor and coop.HB society was sub-lessor since 1971. Every document leading to Gift Deed has since been challanged in their Suit and is under cloud of suspicion. How far HSA section 14 be helpful for the female occupant though living with her husband and family since inception / creation of the property ?

This Daughter in law is not having any right in the property, she had been living in her matrimonial home, her husband is living and if at all anything to be claimed, it will be he who can claim and not she. If the husband vacates the house and shifts to some other house, she has to follow him there only, she cannot squat here claiming a share in this property, section 14 of HSA deals with the property that has been acquired by the female, here there is no such thing.
