1. Once your father's siblings had gifted or relinquished their share in favour of their siblings the transfer of property became absolute. No rights can now be claimed by them with respect to the property which they transferred with their free consent.

2. They can succeed to impeach the transfer only if they can prove that the same was vitiated by absence of free consent.

3. Your father should contest their case in the court.

4. Unless there is a stay order passed by the court you are at liberty to sell.

You are not so clear about the nature of case and whether any order of restraint is passed or not.

If there is no injunction order against transfer of property is in place then any of the co-sharer can transfer the property.

However such transfer would be subject to the final verdict of the suit pending.

If your aunt or uncle have decided to file a case seeking their share, whether it is maintainable or not will be decided by court after trial proceedings before it.

Until there is no stay or injunction restraining the defendants from alienating the property during the pendency of the legal proceedings, there is no harm in selling the property to a third person.

The facts you rely upon for example the relinquishment of their rights over the property by the aunt or uncle who propose to file a suit can be taken up during the trial proceedings in the court.
