1) Ancestral Property is a property that has remained unpartitioned in the family for 4 generations. In simple words if a person holds a property which from his great grand father came in his hand down the line will be considered an ancestral property

2) merely because your grand father owned agricultural land would not make it ancestral property .

3) i presume it was self acquired by your grand father .

4) your father is entitled to sell the land he inherited from your grand father without your consent and that of your siblings

1. This property, if purchased by your grand father, is not ancestral in nature. For a property to qualify as ancestral property it should originally have been purchased by the great grand father of the person claiming to have a share in the property, coupled with the absence of division or severance of joint character of the property till the fourth generation traced upwards from the original owner of the property. A property can be termed ancestral property only and only if it passes this twin test. When judged on this touchstone of law, the property you have referred to fails the twin test.

Please do understand the difference between self acquired property and Ancestral property.

Self acquired property is any property purchased by an individual from his resources or any property he acquired as a part of the division of any Ancestral/Coparcenary property or acquired as a legal heir or by any Testamentary document such as ‘Will’ etc.

Ancestral or Hindu coparcenary property refers to any property acquired by the Hindu great grand father, which then passes undivided down the next three generations up to the present generation of great grand son/daughter

1. Ancestral property should be four generation old,

2. It should not have been divided by the users in the joint Hindu family as once a division of the property takes place, the share or portion which each Coparcenar gets after the division becomes his or her self acquired property.

3. The right to a share in ancestral or coparcenary property accrues by birth itself, unlike other forms of inheritance, where inheritance opens only on the death of the owner.

4. The rights in ancestral property are determined per stripes and not per capita. This means that the share of each generation is first determined and the successive generations in turn sub divide what has been inherited by their respective predecessor.

5. Properties inherited from mother, grandmother, uncle and even brother is not ancestral property. Property inherited by will and gift are not ancestral properties.

Hello,

1) Assuming that the property is ancestral in true sense of the term you can get an injunction from the court to restrain your father or the siblings from alienating the property..

2) If on the contrary the the property was self acquired by your grandfather and inherited by your father from him he has absolute rights in alienating the property without any consent or consultation from any of his children and unfortunately you have no legal remedy to stop him from doing so.

Hi, as the property is an ancestral property they can't sold the land without all the consent of the family members you have to challenge the alienation made by your father or brother before the civil court on the ground that it is neither for family benefit and you have right over the property and also file a suit for bare injunction restrain they to alienate to third parties.
