a]first proof that the property was not recorded in name of your great grand father at any point of time,this you can do by showing records of right extracts where the property was recorded in real owners name before your grand father's name came to be recorded in their name place.
b]your father got it from his father,hence property in your father's hand is ancestral.He has right to gift it.But gift has to be made by a registered deed accompanied by possession duly attested by two attesting witnesses and duly accepted by you as laid in Transfer of Property Act.
c]yes.
d] no.
THE INITIAL BURDEN OF PROOF THAT IT WAS YOUR GREAT GRAND FATHERS PROPERTY HENCE ANCESTRAL IS UPON YOUR SISTERS,AND TO PROVE CONTRARY IS YOURS AND THE WAY YOU CAN DO SO IS STATED ABOVE IN ANSWER TO a].

Without that how records of right could change??
If it has stood changed ,no problem .
I have understood the genealogy right at once before you told me x is your grand father,y is your father.y has 01 son [you] & 02 daughters a&B[your sisters..

I MEANT THAT SINCE SUIT IS BY SISTERS THEY WILL HAVE TO PROVE FIRST THAT IT IS ANCESTRAL PROPERTY.
THE PROPERTY CAN BE CALLED ANCESTRAL IN YOUR CASE ONLY IF IT BELONGED TO YOUR GREAT GRAND FATHER FROM WHOM YOUR GRAND FATHER INHERITED,
BUT THAT IS NOT THE FACT IN YOUR CASE.HENCE YOUR SISTERS CAN NOT DISCHARGE THEIR INITIAL BURDEN OF PROOF THAT IT WAS ANCESTRAL PROPERTY. WHILE YOU CAN PROVE THAT BEFORE YOUR GRAND FATHER THE PROPERTY WAS RECORDED IN NAME OF PERSON OUT SIDE YOUR FAMILY TREE [GENEALOGY]FROM WHOM IT CAME IN YOUR GRAND FATHER'S NAME.

"patta is in the name of my grand father."
sufficient evidence,besides his widow may depose if any need arises.

BASED UPON THE GIFT DEED YOU CAN DO ANY THINGS. THE PROPERTY IS IN POSSESSION IN ENJOYMENT MORE THAN STATUTORY PERIOD. YOU HAVE PERFECTED THE TITLE.
