Out of your father's share in the property, you being one of the six legal heirs to share his share of property, you shall be entitled to 1/6th share of your father 's share in the property.

On the demise of your father his property devolved through succession on his heirs i.e his mother, widow and children equally. The share of your mother also devolved on her children equally. So you can cull out your share by filing a suit for partition in the court. HSA amendment is applicable to only ancestral property whereas this property is in the nature of self acquired property of your father as he got it on partition inter se between the heirs of his father.

you have equal share as your brother has in your father's self acquired property but you have no right in the ancestral property.

amendment in HSA 2005 is not applicable in your case because your father is died in year 1986. according to the dicision of Phulvati vs Prakash 2015 if father died before 20 sep 2005 daughter has no right in ancestral property because property immediately vested in son
