As per the facts, its your mother property and she can give it to anyone by her will.

However, your sister can still try to show that as the property is purchased from the father's fund and his recources and so as the father died without will, she has the right also. But it will be very very difficult for her to prove that.

Re: Sister share on mother's name property

First one need decide who is the owner - your father or mother or HUF. If your father or HUF was the owner, then rights of his heirs viz. widow, sons, daughters etc. created on the moment of his death. If your mother is the owner, then during her life time nobody has any right in the property. Further, your mother can dispose the her property either by sale or gift during her life time or can make a will for disposal after her death.
