How did you paid your sister, through cheque or by cash? From what you're saying I gather that you have paid her by cash. What your sister did with the amount you paid? Most important is how your sister transferred the property in your name? Something must have been mentioned somewhere. Contact a local lawyer with the document.

1. How did your sister transfer her share of the property in your name? What was the document registered? Was it a Sale Deed of Gift Deed of Settlement Deed?

2. However, if her said share has been transferred through a registered Deed in your favour then you are its legal owner,

3. Her filing suit for reclaiming her share will not succeed.

1) you have stated that your sister transferred her share in property to you legally . i presume it was done through gift deed/ relinquishment deed .

2) once property is so transferred you are absolute owner of the said property .

3) it is necessary to go through the case filed by your sister to further advise .

4) has your sister in suit filed by her mentioned that property was transferred in your name and consideration received by her .

5) you have to contest case filed by your sister on merits . i do hope that cash paid by you has been duly declared by you in your income tax returns
