My mother, in the year 1959 when myself and my brother were minors, has relinquished the Property rights of our family's share to our Paternal Cousins by accepting a meagre sum of Rs. 2000/-. This property is purely inherited by our Grand Father and it is still un-divided. Now our Paternal Cousins are not willing to give any share even to their own Sisters who are alive. I feel as per recent amendment to Hindu Succession Act in 2005, even Daughters are also entitled to a share in the un-partitioned property. Pl. let us know whether Myself and my brother (both male members) and our Sister can sue them stating that my Mother had no right to relinquish the rights of Minors. Is it valid. . Is there any time frame for filing this suit? Is it time-barred. Our Advocate says that for PARTITION ACT, there is no TIME LIMIT. Please let us have your reply
