Respected sir,
My Father is around 67 years old. Ha has one Brother of about 55 yrs old and three sisters all of above 50 years. We have three types of Agriculture Land1)Great grand parents land
2)Grand Father of my Father and 3)Mother of my father.
My father's all sisters were married before 1970. They all have Grand sons sons. Sisters were married by giving handsome dowries during that time.
Now sisters of my Father are asking for share in his mother's Agriculture land.
My grand Father & Mother both were dead in 1991 & 1992 respectively. We have traditionally oral division of Land since 1985 among Father & Uncle. We have Possession of Land according to our divisions. What should we do? Should we go for Legal then Where?

Father and uncle may have made oral partition amongst themselves but that won't take away the rights of the sisters. The sisters have equal share in the property left by their mother along with their brothers.
