Legal Question in Family Law in India

Right of sister in law in residential & agricultural property

My sister-in-law is a divorced lady .She came to stay with us after her divorce . She subsequently picked up a job and left on her transfer. On her transfer back to the city she came to live with us again . She said she would move into her flat which was under construction but she sold that & then said that she would move to the farm close to her work place but she sold that too and has bought alternate property . Now she has changed jobs & is refusing to leave saying she is 1/2 owner and has been living here since birth. She has never spent any of her own money on the house nor has paid for living here throughout and there are no utility connections also in her name . She is also demanding 1/2 share in agriculture land in Himachal and Haryana. The house in which we live is in Delhi and was inherited by my father in law in 1951 and he passed away in 1999 without a will. He left one son (my husband) and my sister in law . I have one son and two daughters .We need more space as my children are growing up & we will need more space as marriage comes up . Can we ask her to leave our residence legally and what are her rights vis a vis both properties (residence and agricultral)
