Ancestral property issue (urgent advice needed)

My Dad has 3 brothers (and 4 sisters (Total 8) and they have an Ancesteral House in Ghaziabad. There is no partition or will its a four room house. House is still on name of my grandfather.

5 out of 8 (2 brothers, widow of another brother and one sister) have sold their share to third party.

One Sister who sold her share gets very less money.

One Sister is Mising (Dunno where she is) and one sister has died (have 2 Childern, they also doesnt want to sell their share).

My dad doesnt want to sell off the House but That third party guy living in our house with his family.

My Questions :

1. Can my dad go and throw that thrid party guy out of our house?

2. Can my dad live in that house now? (As we dont own any house.)

3. Can my dad's sister who get less money take any action?

4. can my dad make another floor for himself to live?

or is there anything my dad can do? Hoping for positive response..

1.No

2.yes

3. She can file a suit and the outcome will depend on the h'ble courts decision in setting aside the sale deed.

4.He can construct .. but until his share in not determined properly, he might face some issues if the matter goes to court.

How long has the third party been in possession of the said property...?

For Queriest, If the ancestral house is still in the name of Grandfather and not yet partitioned till date, then how the would be owners and co-owners sold out their share without proper in-heritation and succession ? It's all illegal transactions since ab-initio and amount to be cancelled by Court itself.
