2) your daughter also does not have any share in her grand father self acquired property
3) your father can sell , gift , bequeath the property to whom so ever he so desires
4) daughter in law cannot even claimant rights to stay in the self acquired property of her father in law
You are silent on your religion. Moreover if you are from J & K , then the laws prevalent tin rest of India is not application therein.
In normal circumstances the daughter in law has not right of share in the property of father in law. There is no such provision of law which stops father in law from selling his property, at least, in rest of India.
Prefer an appeal in high court against such order of injunction and try to expedite your divorce suit,
She has no rights nor your daughter has any rights including yourself in the self acquired property of your father. The case is not maintainable. What is section 148 doing here. ?
The claim for matrimonial home can be made by her and in that way she can an injunction suit but that cannot make any impact to the self acquired property belonging to your father. You can file a petition under Order 7 rule 11 before the same court to counter her suit.
1. Neither your wife nor your daughter has any rights in the self acquired property of your father. You should enter defence to contest her case on merits. She cannot be granted a stay order by the court.
2. Your parents can file a complaint for domestic violence against her to claim compensation if they have been victims of it.
Hi
your wife has no right in our father's self acquired property.
if she had been staying in the house which was her matrimonial home, or if you stay there an don't have any other house , then she can get an order of accommodation under protection of women from domestic violence act,2005.
However injunction on your dad's property is not justifiable , court may not grand this.
You need to defend it strongly the court will not be misguided by her side of pleadings.
sthreedhanam for under which act,depending on the facts of the case you should defend her claims.She will have to prove that her streedhan has been detained/ taken by you, for that she will have to produce the documents of bills , photographs an d other and details
She has no right in your fathers self acquired property. Contest the case with the help of a lawyer. Most probably you case will dispose of coming months because its an old case. If possible use the method of mediation and adalath for speedy disposal and avoiding mental harassment. Desertion also a good ground for divorce.
