My dreams of a new claim.

Yesterday I had a dream in the early morning. In my dream a fair looking lady having about 45 years of age handling her 4 years old female child approached my office with a surprising claim. After a few minutes talk, I could realise that she was my client about 7 years back in connection with her matrimonial disputes. I memorised that all her claims against her husband and his family amicably settled and her husband died within two months after her obtaining of divorce Order from the court. In her case, the surprising thing was that her father -in- law who was the rival party in her case had given adequate support for establishing her case and settling all her and minor Son's monitory claims. In fact her monitory claims was settled out of court by the parties directly even without my presence. Thereafter she remarried and the child with her is in her second marriage. She told me that her second husband left her 3 years back after making a huge debt in the society by his collapsed business, and now he is unknown and she resides with her aged parents. Now her demand is to make a new claim over the family property of her former father-in-law who deceased recently. On my query she replied that she could get a huge amount of 8 Lakhs from her father-in-law at the time of settlement and thereafter he partitioned his remaining landed property to his other children and wife. The father-in-law has given about 5 Acres of landed property each to his other surviving sons on family settlement in the year 2000. And one of her former husband's brother is residing in the family residence which was her former matrimonial home. She vehemently argued before me that her given share was so meagre compared to the present value of property given to the brothers of her former husband. And her new claim is for demanding an additional amount of Rs.10 Lakhs from the former brother-in-law residing in the family property or allow her to reside there with full maintenance right along with children. I duly informed her about the difficulty since she has remarried and absence of precedence in such claims in Indian Law. On placing my excuses and arguements she unexpectedly took a papper cutting from her vanity bag and placed befrore my table and made a smile like a winner in the game. On seeing the same, a terrible feeling has passed through my mind subsequent to my initial pleasure. The paper cutting was an article titled as "Modern Legislation In India" written by me in the year 1996 as a criticism over a domostic violence Act. When I was making sure about the expected disaster in the Indan family, my eyes were opened from the floor bneath my cot.
