Ancestral property given as gift deed

We are having Ancestral Property of 12 acres

My Grandfather is having 6 children, 1 son (my father) and 5 daughters

In 2004, younger Daughter had executed a gift deed of 2 acres to her name from her Father(My Grand Father).

My Question is:

1. Since it is a Ancestral Property, Whether Gift Deed is applicable.

2. All the 6 childrens were major and consent was not taken from any of them.

3. Can we challenge this case in Court

if it is an ancestral property of your grand father then he cannot execute the gift deed  without the consent of  the other co-parceners.  Daughter has got property more than her share.

Hi Satish, 

 

Understand that since the property was ancestral all of them had a subsisting interest of 1/7th of the entire property. Grandfather at max could have gifted her his 1/7th, coupled with her 1/7th she could own a total of 2/7th and not more than that. Any interest more than that can be challenged by the other coparcenors within 12 years of knoelwedge of such transfer. 

 

hope this helps !

Thanks Rajeev and Bharat for you reply.

Since the Gift Deed was executed on 2004, I cannot challege it.

But, can we challenge for 1/7th share of my father in that 2 Acres of land.
