Then what about the supreme court law that was recently given out that Daughters cannot inherit ancestral property if Father Died Before 2005,

1) the Supreme Court judgment is applicable only to ancestral properties
2) in your case it is self acquired property of grand mother and on her demise both sons and daughters have equal shares
No partition, much less a partition that was preceded by execution of relinquishment deed by sisters' in favour of brother, has been executed. As a corollary thereto, sisters have an indefeasible share in the property, which they can cull out by filing a partition suit in the court.
SC ruling does not apply to your case as the property is not ancestral.
Hi, As per the latest Supreme Court ruling the daughters have no right to claim share in the property if the father died before [deleted].
For seeking partition there is no time limit.
your father's sisters are also class I legal heirs to their parents, specifically legal heirs to the deceased property owner who died intestate.
Being class I legal heirs they are also entitled to an equal share in the property left behind by their mother.
There is no legal infirmity in their claim for a share.
If partition is not possible at this stage all the brothers may jointly agree to contribute amount which shall be shared by all their sisters as a compensation to their shares in the properties under their possession now.
If the court is not able to partition, it may bring the entire property to sale and the sale proceeds shall be divided equally and distributed to all the legal heirs.
Avoid unpleasant situation.
Then what about the supreme court law that was recently given out that Daughters cannot inherit ancestral property if Father Died Before 2005,
Supreme court is not an authority to frame law. It can only enforce law by interpreting the same properly. The latest ruling by supreme court shall not be applicable to this situation. Read the judgment fully once again if you want to understand the underlying meaning in it.
