I don't think so they may get temporary injunction but later the case will not stand. I don't think so they have case on merits

1. Legally speaking the court should not grant injunction. 

2. If there's no restrictions from any court of law to sell the property then you can proceed. 

3. You children also don't have any rights in the property at least not during your lifetime.

1. the court will not give injunction since you have paid consideration in form of settlement therefore the same will be treated as your self acquired property. 

2. If you sell the property then the purchaser will step in your shoes and will be bound of the order passed in the injunction suit. 

3. No they are not required to put the signature.

1. During your lifetime none of your heirs has any share in the property. You are free during your lifetime to alienate the property i.e you may sell, gift or mortgage it. You are also free to bequeath it to anyone you desire. On settlement from your mother in your favour you became the absolute owner of the property, consequently there are no fetters on your right to alienate or bequeath it.

2. It is not ancestral property.

3. It ought to have been mentioned in the settlement deed that other heirs have been paid their pound of flesh. However, the omission does not vitiate the settlement deed itself as settlement was made by your mother.

4. It is not clear whether your wife has filed a regular civil suit for injunction or she has sought injunction under DV Act. You may note that under DV Act the magistrate can issue injunction in favour of wife if the sale of property by husband would defeat the right of residence of wife.

Self acquired property of your, none have any say.

Wife has no say in the property, she can only get stay on shared household in which she was living with husband. Not as a claim but only right to resident.  Well, no injunction will grant.

Your all free to sell.

 

Will my sons and daughter has rights to get stay or claim if i sell this property in future?

or if I sell, Do they need to put the signature in the register office? NO

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present and subsequent query, makes it clear that the property came to your mother form your father.
  2. And the same was self acquired property of your father.
  3. And then the property came to you form your giving the status of self acquired property for you also.
  4. Your children cannot claim any right in the property for two reasons as property coming from the mother means female members would always be self acquired property in the hand of the person like you in the present case.
