Daughter-in-law has no right on property earned by mother-in-law: High Court

Property

The daughter-in-law cannot claim her right on the property earned by her father-in-law. The High Court said in the judgment that the daughter-in-law cannot claim the property of the mother-in-law by going against her will. The High Court, while dismissing the woman’s appeal against the Panchkula Court’s decision in this regard, said that the husband has the responsibility of the wife, but this does not mean that the daughter-in-law has the right over the property of the father-in-law. Justice Rajmohan Singh said in the judgment that the woman has claimed the property under Joint Hindu Property but it cannot be allowed.

Retired Navy officer, resident of Panchkula, had filed a case in Panchkula court demanding eviction from the daughter-in-law living on the first floor of her house. Said in the petition that the relationship between son and daughter-in-law is not good, So they don’t want to keep them in their house. The daughter-in-law had also filed a dowry harassment case against her in which the Ludhiana court acquitted her. On apologizing on behalf of the daughter-in-law, he allowed the son and daughter-in-law to live on the first floor of his house. But the fights continued and due to this his wife died of a heart attack. They do not want son and daughter-in-law to live in their house. While the petition was pending in the court, the son took a separate house on rent, but the daughter-in-law claimed under the joint Hindu property and said that she has been living in this house since marriage. He also has a daughter. In such a situation, they also have a right on the property. The Panchkula court had rejected the woman’s claim, after which an appeal was filed against the decision in the High Court. The High Court dismissed the woman’s claim, upholding the Panchkula Court’s decision.
