A. No. If your father died without makeing a Will (Intestate), Your mother has 1/3 right over the agricultural land and remain children also are having 1/3 right over the agricultural land.
B. Therefore, your mother not only absolute owner of the agricultural land and deceased father children also have the right over the agricultural land. Hence, you can challenge the same before the Court under the Indian Sucession Act, 1925.
