Hindu unmarried male intestate

My uncle who is unmarried died without leaving any will.  My father died before him.  My aunty and two other uncles were living at his death. The question is how my deceased uncle"s property divided.  Any amendment has come that only living survivors are eligible for inheritance of the property or others who died earlier to my uncles death also eligible.  Would appreciate a clarification.

Since your uncle died unmarried, his property would devolve on his mother who is also a class I heir. If the mother is not alive, his father who is a class II heir would succeed to the property to the exclusion of all other heirs in class II. If the father also pre-deceased him, his brother(s) and sister(s) will succeed equally to the property.

Hope this satisfies your query.
