Also explained that she is the legal heir to her parents’ home in Chhattisgarh which is presently in the possession of her aunt and uncle who have illegally possessed her property. She wants her property restored to her. Sunita Kaur is apparently physically challenged although the exact nature of her handicap needs to be determined though a medical examination. Her speech is slurred and memory faint. Currently Sunita and her husband are working in a school to clean the school and to prepare tea for the teachers.
