If he dies intestate, i.e, without executing a will, you can claim his property by virtue of being one of his legal heirs.

1. The share which your father got in the property of his father i.e your grandfather on partition between between your father and his brother became the separate property of your father which is at par with self acquired property. During his lifetime you have no right to claim any share in this property.

2. There are no fetters on the right of your father to alienate his property during his lifetime.

Hello,

1) If the property is ancestral, you will have a share along with your parents and siblings in equal measure.

2) For the property to qualify as ancestral it should have been handed down 4 generations undivided.

3) Let a local lawyer inspect the property document to determine if it is ancestral.

1. Since your father is alive, you cannot claim share in your father's property during his lifetime.

2. As per your narration, the property was originally bought by your grand father and through division of the property your father and uncle got the property and in your father's hands it is your father's self acquired property.

3. Being the absolute owner of self acquired property it is the prerogative of your father to do anything with the property during his lifetime.

4. In case of his intestate (without executing WILL) death, then you shall have equal share alongwith other legal heirs.

Please understand that you are entitled for claim.

According to supreme court recent judgements the married daughter have equal right in the parental property after the advent of amendment in Hindu Succession Act 1956, that came into force since 9th sept 2005. 

I do not know full facts of your problem so better would be to have detailed discussion.

There is no share for you in the property during your father's lifetime.

Hence no case, even if you file one, shall be maintainable.

As per section 30 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, a Hindu may dispose of by Will or other testamentary disposition, any property which is capable of being disposed of by him, in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 or any other law that is applicable to Hindus at the time.

There is no restriction under the Hindu succession Act or under the succession Act on the persons to whom a Hindu may bequeath his self-acquired and self-owned properties.
