1) you have to move court to set aside sale deed as mother and daughters have equal share in the properties

2) file police complaint against brothers for cheating , criminal breach of trust for having sold the properties on basis of false legal heir certificates

1. A criminal complaint for illegally selling the properties on the basis of fake and fabricated documents can b lodg against them before the jurisdictional police station.

A suit seeking partition of entire properties, cancellation of sale deed of the properties already sold and a permanent injunction suit may also be filed

2. You can initiate legal proceedings on all those who indulged in the said illegal activities due to which your mother could not get her legitimate and rightful share in the properties.

3. You should file a partition suit seeking partition of entire properties which should include the properties already sold and seek separate possession of your legitimate share in it.

The partition suit has no limitation, it can be filed anytime. .

1. A criminal complaint for cheating, forgery and giving false information to a public servant may be filed against them under the provisions of Indian Penal Code.

2. His compassionate appointment can also be set aside if he is proved guilty of the criminal charges as mentioned above as it will then be a case of moral turpitude by a public servant.

3. The alienation of property made by them can be challenged in the civil court through a suit for cancellation of the sale deed by the daughters of your grandfather. This is the only way to get back the property.
