It is further alleged that out of her purchased land, Dulari Devi has transferred 9 decimal lands to Rama Saw, son of Fauzdari Saw about 20 years back. Her sons and daughters-in-law are residing in the house only as per the consent and no any right has been created in favour of sons and daughters-in-law. Defendant No. 2 has admitted that she had voluntarily executed gift deed of the suit house property in favour of her own daughter-in-law (defendant No. 1) through registered deed of gift which is genuine and valid.
