are you sure that the property was ancestral?

Fora property to be ancestral, it has to be undivided from last four generations.

1) Who sold grandfather's property. A grandfather himself or by other members of family??

 

2) If it's sold by grandfather than you won't get any share. If not sold by grandfather than you can ask your share as per current value from buyer or your share land.

You don’t have any share in deceased grand father property 

 

2) on his demise your father as legal heir would inherit his self acquired property 

 

 

3) yiu would not get any reliefs from court

Hello, 

1)  It needs tho be determined if the property qualifies to be ancestral property in the first place. The property has to come down 4 generations undivided to be called ancestral. If the property was inherited by the grandfather in that manner then you stand a chance to stake a claim. If this be the case you are loot at the current value. 

2) You may stake a claim in the portion taken by the sister if the property is ancestral. 

3)  Why try to prevent, you must contest if a suit is filed.

Nobody can be stopped for filing a suit this is a free country of course you can claim your share from the property from your father but it will be given to you and the previous rates you can claim the compensation from the court in the form of interest but it will be decided by the court

1. See you can file a suit claiming your share and further for cancellation of sale on ground that it is illegal all legal heirs did not sign. (see you have to first make sure you have right on the grand fathers property as you don't have share in grandfather's self acquired property,)

 

2. You can file a suit if it is ascertained that you have share in same.

1. Your grandfather's property is not ancestral property to you hence there was no necessity to take your consent before selling it.

Neither you can claim any share in it as a right especially during your father's lifetime.

Any legal  step taken to get a share now will be futile.
