• How to Claim Land which was sold by grandfathers brother

Hello,
My Grandfather was tenant for Land approx. 3 plus acres in 1955.
When my Grandfather was away from town , his brother sold the land to someone.
Later he did not provide any information to my Grandfather, and at that time due to poverty they could not fight legally.
My Grandfather have 3 sons and 5 grandsons, plus daughters, children,etc
My Grandfathers brother have 3 daughters who also did not get any money and support us.

Right now we want to file a case on land based on old land record of 1955, later to that some documents were misplaced and not available in MRO office.
Right now land is on some other person name, so 1-2 transfers may have happen.

What are the chances that we grandsons claim that property now on old pahanis of 1955.

Your parents were absolute owners of house

Daughter has no share in father self acquired property during father lifetime

2) in case father dies intestate daughter would have equal share in father property as son

The property on your grandfather's property was sold during his lifetime whereas your grandfather, despite knowing the fact kept silent about it rather did not rake any action on it.

The sale is adverse to him if he is alive and if he is not alive, then there is no claim whatsoever to his children.

Therefore there cannot be any suit maintainable in this regard.

If the property belonged to your father, then there is nothing that could have prevented him from selling the property. Your sisters nor you have any claim in it

If father had sold his property then it cannot be questioned by her or anyone.

Nobody has any right to claim a share in your father's own property.
