There is a limitation but as you were denied a share in the property you can file a case. What happened to your father's property. You have a share in that too.

You are fully entitled to one third of your grandfather's total property inherited to your deceased father. 

Immediately claim your share in the property by mutual settlement or by partition.

Issue notice to your uncles stating your right to the property and intentions to get the property partitioned  by metes and bounds either by mutual settlement or by arbitration by nominating arbitrator by each, failing which you shall file a suit for partition of the said property in civil court without any further intimation.

As per Indian Succession act class I heirs list, you have equal rights in those property if only for selfowned property of your grandfather is not WILL. 

In ancestral property your father's 1/3rd share you are entitled plus for selfowned property also if not WILL.

Means you are entitled for 8.13 acres land share of your father.

Ni limitation to file partition suit. It can file when cause of action arose. You should have filed when settlement was done. Well, you can excuse this, now only came to know about settlement which is illegal.

Your father 1/3rd share will inherit in you and your mother equally.

The rights will be as per the heirship in the said property

A person(s) merely maintaining a property cannot by default become entitled for share.

They will not get any right.

If any such issue arises, you contest the same.

They may claim through adverse possession but that should be hostile against actual owner. Holding land gratuitously dose not give any right.

Mere possession of the property does not provide the right over the property.

Dear

You need to file partition suit against your uncle for share in all the properties of your grandfather as your father decendent you will have 1/3 share in the property.

Daughters do have right in Ancestral as well as self acquired property if father or grandfather dies Intestate.

They doesnt have rights over the property even if they are maintaining continuous possession of land for 50 years because doctrine of adverse possession doesn't applies in the family and legal heirs.

This is not ancestral proeprty.

This was your grandfather's own and absolute property hence your deceased father was entitled to a legitimate share in the property, if he was alive.

Upon your father's death, his share of property shall devolve on his own legal heirs, i.e., you.

You can very well file a partition suit and claim your legitimate share in the property out of your father's share in the property left behind by your grandfather.

You are seeking your share by a partition suit.

The partition suit is not barred by any limitation hence you can file a partition suit and claim your legitimate share in it as a right.

Dear Madam,

Never Think of limitation because since it is a joint family property and after the death of your grand father , it is inherited by his 3 sons including your deceased father since you the legal heir of your deceased father. 

You may file a suit for partition and seek cancellation of settlement deed.
