Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) i presume it is self acquired property of your grand father
2) on his demise property has been divided among legal heirs ie your father and his siblings
3) father is at liberty to give sale proceeds only to brother .
4) you cannot claim any share from your father
Dear Concerned
You father is free to sell and disburse the proceeds to anyone who he wish to any you can not claim your (married sister) share in these proceeds being the property of your grandfather and not that earned by your father.
Best of Luck
1. Your father was the owner of his share of his father's property which was partitioned between his brothers.
2. He is within his right to do whatever he wishes to with his said share of the property including sale of the same and gifting its sale proceeds to anyone he feels like.
3. You have no legal right to claim any share of the said proceed if he does not want to give the same to you.
The share of property acquired by your father from his father's property shall be his own and absolute property.
He is the only person who has full rights in it to dispose it or transact with it in any manner.
Therefore his decision to give away the sale proceeds money after selling this property to his son alone is his own right which cannot be questioned by anyone.
In fact you or anyone do not have any rights in it legally.
\However you can involve elders of family and convince your father to allot some portion of the money to you and the other daughter too.
