Can daughters seek partition of dwelling house

we have a house which was bought by my grandfather in 1964, my my grandfather has 1 son( my father) and 3 daughters. One of my aunt became widow in around 1975 and my father bought her home with her son. My father took good care of her all these years also taking care of all the expenses of my aunt as she was not having any source of income. My grandfather died in 1980 and grandmother in 1989 without leaving any will. We are living on the ground floor and my aunt is living on the 1st floor with her son. Now she has filed a lawsuit against us seeking partion of the property .

 

Please help me on this can daughter as for partiton of a dwelling house, if yes then is there a loophole.

Yes ....

In 2005's amendments sec. 23 hsa has omitted.

so now she can file suit for partiion.

your aunt has no right to file partition suit in an ancestral property.amendment 2005 and other amendment are prospective in nature and has no retrospective effect. if your grand father die after 2005 then she can claim.

I dis agree with sareen sir,

here property is self acqired of grandfather. After his death aunt is of class I member so she would get the share in it. 

and she can claim now for partition because sec 23 of HSA has been deleted.

Thanks you everone for the useful information, is there anyone else who agrees with Mr. Sarin?

We have consulted a good lawyer and he is also saying that she cant claim partion as my grandfather  died before the amendment of 2005.

Can deceased sister's legal heirs also file for partion of house property under joint lease deed with her brothers and sisters?

What will be the position if brothers put up an alleged notarised family arrangement on nj stamp paper of rs.100 dated ten years before renewal of leasedeed in favour of all brothers and sisters, in which sisters consented to forgo their shares  for no consideration but that brothers amicably divide the property among themselves? And affidavits by sisters also predating renewal of joint lease forgoing their claims and debarring their heirs also from making ny claims in the said property?

What is the validity of such family settlement and affidavits?
