The Married daughter have equal right in the parental property after the advent of amendment in Hindu Succession Act 1956, that came into force since 9th sept 2005. In this regard your father in law has no right to deprive the right of the daughter in the house wherein she is in occupation right now.

Ask her to file immediately a case for injunction and further an application under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. This will protect both of your interest in the firtst application you will get stay and the other will determine your rights.

Dear client,
Your question is very confusing because if your father in law has sent notice to his daughter then why you should worry I don't understand but if the notice is sent to you and if the property belongs to your father in law then your status along with your husband in the said property is that of a licencee but if it is ancestral property then you via your husband have lawful right to stay there.

If the property belong to your father-in-law and his daughter illegally occupied it. Then there is no foul from the side of your father-in-law to issue legal notice against his daughter to vacant his house. I think after marriage of his daughter said unfortunate father understand that, he give the hand of her daughter to a person who have no house at all and who cannot make it by his own cost.
However. Daughter can send reply notice if she have any point for reply. otherwise, Vacate the premises is better for other legal consequence.
