Justice MSA Siddiquie while asking nine defendents (family members of late Lamba) to file replies on the suit by the cricketer's Irish wife Kim, said the interim order restraining the family members from using the property would continue till next date of hearing fixed in February.

The plaint filed by Kim, through her counsel Sandeep Sethi, alleged that the members of Lamba's joint family forcibily took away all the papers pertaining to the properties acquired by her husband solely through his own sources of income and she was forced to leave the family house with a warning not to return.

The plaint said Lamba had made a will in favour of Kim regarding two plots at Kant Enclave in Faridabad, a flat at Sukhdev Vihar, share in joint house property and a joint construction company owned by the family.

Kim, who has a son and adaughter to support, said in her plaint, that she was forced to take refuge in a small flat at Lajpatnagar along with her parents who had come to India to condole her shortly after Raman Lamba succumbed to a freak accident while playing a cricket match in Dhaka.

``About a week after the demise of Raman, I received number of threatening calls asking me to leave the country immediately for good,'' Kim Lamba alleged.

Kim said, she was forced to resort to legal action as all efforts by her to settle the dispute amicably with the family members failed and she was not even allowed to enter the house whenever she approached them.

Sethi told the court that Kim through her own sources had come to know that the family was planning to sell some of the properties in an attempt to deprive her of her legitimate right.

Pleading for restoration of the properties Kim requested the court to pass permanent injunction in favour of her and restrain the respondents from disturbing her right of ``peaceful use and possessionof it''.
