When the agreement is reached and put into writing by way of family settlement , you can not take plea of any oral agreement.
In any case family settlement once executed can be revoked unless you can prove in court that it was executed by sue of force and coercion.

You can claim to the extent of your share only, made in the family settlement from your father. But, the said property is his self acquired property, you have no right to defend on him.

It can be revoked if it is an unregistered document. Oral promises cannot be construed as breach of faith and an act of cheating. In your father's self acquired property, you cannot go beyond the settlement deed.
