Since its your grandfather self acquired property he can gift to anyone he likes you have no rights....if it is your fathers self owned property or your great grandfather property then you have right to claim partition

1.Please clear who your grand father 'shared proeprty to their children' n his life time.

2.if it was done during the lifetime of your father then on his death your grandfather can not change it agaisnt to your brother;s name.

3.if your grandfather is dead now and your father died before 2005 then the same being his ancestral proeprty can not be claimed by you anymore.

4. If your father got that proeprty from his father by way of a registered deed then on this death then the same is liable for division among all of you in equal share which your grand father can not alter.

In such event to claim your sahre you can file a suit for partition.

it is grandfather self acquired property

during his lifetime grand father has on your father demise transferred property in grand son name

3) i presume it was done by gift deed duly stamped and registered

4) you would have no share in said property

if you file suit for partition it would take 15 years for suit to be disposed of

2) it depends upon pendency of cases in district court

If the property was self acquired property of your grandfather, you have no right to claim.

If this property is your grandfather's property, and he is still alive; the same being his self-acquired can be disposed off by him in nay manner he wishes.

If he's not ready to give this to you, you cannot compel him to do so.

You cannot stake a claim over this property as a matter of right.

it happens to be the self acquired property of the grandfather and as such as per the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act you do not have any share in the property.

However if you proceed to take chance and file a suit for partition, the same will take around 10 years to get decided.

As per law all the legal heirs are entitled to get equal shares, Irrespective of sons and daughters.

If it is your grandfather's self acquired property you can't do any thing, instead it is ancestral property, you can file a partition suit against your brother and grandfather.

Regarding judgment one can not say but it may take one to two years.

Good Luck / All the Best

sorry madam, if you initiate any legal proceedings as per any expert advice that may be your good money & time bad.

your grand father is the owner of the property. your father died during life time of your grand father. at the time of death of your father, none of your grandfather's property vest to your father. so question of any share out of your father's share cannot arise at all.

out of good gesture as well as love and affection of your grand pa towards his father less grandson, he awarded a part of his property to them. you have no legs to stand and poke your nose in this matter.

it will be better if you restrain yourself from initiating any legal proceedings against your brothers and grand father rather convince your grand pa so that he may gift something to you from his estate.

If this property belonged to your grandfather, then he can settle or transfer this property to any one and in any manner he may desire and decide.

There is no provision in law to demand the share from your grandfather during his lifetime, moreover ther is one more generation in between you and your grandfather who shall e the legal heirs to the deceased grandfather if he is reported to have died intestate.

Dont misinterpret the law or be misguided by wrong interpretation or on any hearsay information.

Legally no claim for any share is maintainable.
