They also claimed that she intended to sell the land for Rs 8 lakh, below its market value, while the family was willing to pay three times that amount. In Dec 2024, the Morbi court rejected Pravina’s objection and permitted Alpa to sell the land at market value, subject to conditions, including purchasing the minimum required land in her daughter’s name to preserve her status as an agriculturist.

Dismissing her appeal, the high court observed, “According to this court, the objector, although did not bothered to maintain the minor or widow of Chintalkumar, who are otherwise a part of the Kavar family, came forward to harass them, making frivolous objections without any locus standi.” However, her mother-in-law, Pravina Kavar, and her brothers-in-law opposed the application, alleging that Alpa had entered their names in the revenue records without informing the family and was using her daughter as a pretext to dispose of family property.

Challenging the order before the high court, Pravina argued against the permission granted to Alpa.
