you let an application be filed on her behalf through a lawyer that she is also one of the legal heir. to my mind, the Hindu Succession Act or Indian Succession Act does not bar wife of a Pakistan national to claim her share that she is to inherit. it may be so that the sale proceeds of the share cannot be taken out of country. retain a lawyer discuss in detail.

My friend here in above has given his valuable legal opinion to a muslim lady about Hindu Succession act and Indian succession Act .Pakistani national cannot have any property in India or cannot inherit any thing from indian. This is the basic law . My suggestion is if you know the law then give opinion and not otherwise.Its only a suggestion.
