Daughter's right in father's property

Sir/Madam,
My mother wants to claim share in her father's property (Karnataka) . Her father was died in the year of 1992, thereafter, along with my mother's brothers her name is also registered as joint holder in the land record (RTC). Is she can claim share in the property. If yes, How much? and If not, Why?

The Hindu Succession (Karnataka Amendment) Act, 1990 under its S.6A entitles the daughter to hold the same right over the joint family property as is held by the son(s). 

So, your mother is entitled to get the same share as that of her brother(s), as your maternal grandfather died in the yea 1992, the act applies to his heirs, as well as, your mother already holds a right in the property. 

Therefore, if, for example,your mother has 2 brothers, then each of them are entitled to 1/3rd share, and in case of 2 brothers and 2 sisters, then 1/4th share each, so on and so forth. 

And your mother can also file a probate case to implement the document which entitles her to have a right in her father's property.
