• Cancelling deed of propety sold without all heirs signature

My father gave (by registration) a small path in our agricultural land to someone else a few years ago. This was in ancestral agricultural land. However, I wasn't asked to sign the deed despite me being the legal heir (along with my father; no other legal heirs for this agri land) and over the age of 18 at that time. So I want to cancel this deed as I didn't sign it and return the money to the third property. Basically keep our original land as it was.

Is it possible to cancel this deed registration (signed by my father) without my signature?
If I file a case, what's the likelihood of getting a stay to not use the path until the case is resolved in court eventually?

You can file suit to set aside sale deed by your father 

 

delay in filing suit has to be explained 

 

chances of success  are bleak

You don't have to file a suit for cancellation of the sale deed. 

If you are confirmed about your rights in the property you may have to file a suit for partition and claim your legitimate share in the property with separate possession. 

Since you are not a party to the sale deed you need not seek cancellation of the sale deed,  you can confine to your relief alone.

In the suit for partition you can file an application seeking injunction to restrain them from using the pathway till the disposal of main suit.

Yes if you go to the court it will be cancelled and you will get a stay. You can file a suit and seek injunction

You would not get stay as only easmentary right of access has been granted 

 

further number of years have passed since right of access has been granted

As you crossed 18 then you cannot challenge.
