A.Dear Client,
If the property belongs to your mother then your wife has no right to claim a share in it as long as you are alive. If in future your mother dies intestate then her property will be bestowed upon her husband and children and if she makes a will then no such question arises. Your wife in no way can claim for a share in the property as long as you are alive.
Thanks.

A.no, not now, till your mother is live...........
however, after demise of your mother (may she live long) she surely can make a claim from your share but as she had filed DV and dowry case chances are low presently that she will go for claiming her stake in property,

A.Sir, the case lodged against you is a dowry case and a D.V case.
Under the D.V. Case the wife can claim
1. Separate accommodation and
2. Maintenance
Nothing else than that.
Coming to your next question about the share in the property of your mother.
Below are the general rules of succession if in case your mother dies without making a will.
15. General rules of succession in the case of female Hindus
(1) The property of a female Hindu dying intestate shall devolve according to the rules set out in section 16 :
(a) firstly, upon the sons and daughters (including the children of any pre-deceased son or daughter) and the husband;
(b) secondly, upon the heirs of the husband;
(c) thirdly, upon the mother and father;
(d) fourthly, upon the heirs of the father; and
(e) lastly, upon the heirs of the mother.
However, if in case your mother dies and has a will made [THEN THE CONTENTS OF THE WILL BE FOLLOWED]
YOUR WIFE [AFTER DIVORCE] cannot ask for a share in your mothers property, because, there is no mention of the same under the statutory rules.
Thanks
