1. Well, since she has already got the job even if on the basis of NOC from you , no action can be done against her as afar as this job is concerned .

2. You Are silent as regards the ownership of the house. If your father was sole or co-owner of this house then you become its co-sharer and hence she can deprive you from getting your due share in it and hence to enforce your right in it you can file suit for partition and injunction.

3. Now, if the house stands in her sole name even before death of your father then you could do nothing as regards your right over this except to linger stay on it by force.

4. Try to win back the lover and affection of your mother. Mother is not so easy to mislead against her own son. there must be some issue which may be bothering her and hence try to address that issue.

Yes, you have right in your father family pension, funds, gratuity and benefits since you are his legal heir. If she is not giving you anything then you may file for partition. You have equal share as like your mother and sister in the property of your father. if she has sold those property, claim your share. If the POA was cancelled, yet the sale deed was executed then this is a case of cheating and you can proceed by filing a complaint against your mother since knowing fully well she has sold the property on the basis of the POA.

1. Your mother had no right whatsoever to sell the properties owned by your deceased father or which were ancestral in nature. She also has no right to evict you from the properties owned by your father. Along with your mother and siblings you have an equal share in all the properties of your deceased father if he did not make a will.

2. What you can immediately do is seek a stay order against your forcible eviction from and sale of the properties owned by your father.

3. You can challenge the sale of the properties which have been sold by her. If the court sets aside the sale you will be able to claim your share therein.

4. Your share in the pension, gratuity and savings of your deceased father is equal to the share of your mother and siblings. So you can file for partition to cull it out.

Ancestral property can't be sold out only by mother. mother has right to sell or alienate her share only. after death of you father property should have been divided among all the heirs. you have 1/4 share in that property. If any new property is acquired out of the sale amount of ancestral property then it is deemed to be ancestral property. so you have 1/4 share in new house.

you should file suit under section 39 SRA declaratory suit for cancellation of sale through POA. This declaration suit will declare that POA executed is ultra vires.

you should file suit under section 15 CPC for partition of property.

You may not be eligible to get benefit out of pension or gratuity. mother has sole right in it. any contract to give any amount from pension or gratuity, salary is void under section 6 of TP Act

1. Your mother has got her job on compassionate ground after the demise of your father,

2. She is getting her salary by putting her labour. You have no right on her salary and you can not force her to pay for your higher studies if she does not want to,

3. Whose POA she is holding to seel of your father's property? If it is from your father then it has no effect now after the demise of your father,

4. If you have executed the POA, then you can not challenge his using the same to sell properties. You can withdraw it now,

5. You can not claim share on the widow pension she is getting but can claimshare on other moveable properties like FD, PF etc.
