- Since, the said property was purchased by the F , hence after his death this property would be devolved upon his wife and children .

- Hence, after the death of the mother , E and G can claim equal share in the property.

Legally speaking son E is not having any rights in the property purchased by his stepfather if he was not adopted by his stepfather legally. 

The property left behind by his stepfather devolved equally on his own legal heirs,  i.e., his wife and own child  G.

The transfer of this property by B to her name alone is not maintainable,  her daughter G is having equal share in it. 

After the death of B, her share in the property received from her husband side shall devolve on the heirs of her husband,  here the heirs of husband is G.

Therefore only  G is entitled to entire property left behind by her father.

1. The house was originally purchased by F who was the second husband of B.

2. Hence, if F died intestate then on his demise the house devolved through intestate succession on his widow B and child G.

3. On the demise of B her share in the property of F devolved through intestate succession on his children from first and second wedlocks. Since E is the biological child of B from her first wedlock he also succeeds to the share of B in the property of F.

Dear Sir,

E has all the rights to claim the share in property by showing that he was adopted by second man and thus has right.

E have 1/3rd share. After 1956, both B and G have succeeded half share each and after demise of B her half share inherited in E and G.

Another view is under Hindu women's right to property act, F`s wife inherited his property solely before 1956 and on her demise, her property is inherited in E and G equally.
