Answer ( 1 )
If the land which came to the second wife was self acquired property, no children from the first wife would have any share. The Children from first wife could have received the share only from the ancestral properties of their biological father and not from self acquired properties. Further, if the father died intestate and no will was made giving the properties to the second wife only then in that case the children would have a right but that right should have been claimed as soon as the children became major. Now that the property was transferred solely in the name of the second wife at the time of the death of biological father, no claim whatsoever can be made by grandchildren of first wife because the property has already exchanged hands and the owner who purchased from second wife remained in lawful possession of the property for more 12 years. The title is deemed to be clear and no share can be claimed after more than 50 years.
