Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

My father died intestate in 1997. At the time of his death, he had a house in Delhi solely in his name; a house in Hyderabad in the joint names of my parents, and 2 plots of land in his name in Chennai. He has four legal heirs, including me, my mother and 2 brothers. To facilitate various payments in respect of our Delhi house, we three brothers gave a relinquishment deed in favour of our mother. Now, can she make out a will leaving the Delhi house in favour of only one of us (brothers)? Can she also will the other two properties at Hyderabad and Chennai as she likes?
