your father share in ancestral property shall be considered his self acquired property and in that only you shall have an equal share alongwith other class 1 legal heirs.

Recently, on March 31, 2011 Hon'ble Supreme court has held in Civil Appeal No. 2844/2011 titled Revanasiddappa and others v/s Mallikarjun and others, Appeal refer to larger bench to decide, whether illegitimate children are entitled to a share in the coparcenary property or whether their share is limited only to the self-acquired property of their parents under Section 16(3) — section 16(3) as amended, does not impose any restriction on the property right of children born from void marriages except limiting it to the property of their parents. Therefore, such children will have a right to whatever becomes the property of their parents whether self acquired or ancestral — matter referred for reconsideration by a larger Bench.

Yes, Mr. Bhartesh Goyal is absolutely right. You have to wait for the outcome of the decision by the Larger Bench of the Supreme Court of India.
