Ceiling land : whether self acquired property?

My Grand Mother has three daughters , 1. Elder Daughter 2. My Mother 3. Younger Daughter . In 1974 By some land Ceiling Act, My Grand Mother got 3 Acres through it . In 1988 she has written all the 3 Acres to Younger Daughter where my mother and elder daughter did not sign that document. In 2007 Younger daughter sold all the 3 Acres to someone. Now is it possible to do anything from my Mother Side . My Grand Mother Still Alive , We are taking care of her , Now Grand Mother is in favor of us and she is ready to come to court since younger daughter did not take care her . we are Hindu's .

Since your grandmother acquired the property, it became her self acquired property, thereby she had full rights to dispose it in favor f her third daughter alone. Upon inheriting the property, the third daughter became an absolute owner of that property by virtue of law of women's property. therefore, the action of disposal by the third daughter is absolutely valid in the eyes of law and cannot be challenged in any form, so no cause of action arises for all your queries.
