Sir in case it was joint hindu property and was ancestral then only they had no share if it was case that it was self acquired property of Mr. A father then they can claim.share as intestste succession.

 

Further if there was will or gift in favour of A they had no share.

If the father of A passed away without a will then the sister of A has the right on the property.

But since A has now passed away the claim of the sister is weak. 

Let her file a case, you will have a good case to defend.
