Legal right to claim the ansisitral.property

mr. gunasekaran,

To my undertanding, your  grandfather brought the property out his self earned income, so it is his self accquired property not ancelstral property. Your father acquired the right over the some properties through a settlement deed, here also it is equal to his self acquired property not ancestral property and your father has full rights to sell the property. You cant void the sale made by your father.  

In your case the family settlement among the father with his own brothers and his father do not make him the absolute owner of his portion of the property as it was earned by your grand father and not by your father, you do have right on this property however as your father has got is sold out and its proceeds have must been spent by him for upbringing of his sons and daughters in their proportion and not individually enjoyed by him. So in this case you can not demand your share from him out of the proceeds of the property. But in case this is not the situation and you were much adult and your consent has not been taken at the time of the sale of the property you can claim your share out of the proceeds of the sale. in this case time limitation is of maximum 12 years from the sale of the property of ancestral nature.but not in the case of absolute property.

Here in your case the property is not inherited by your father from your grand father and your grand father has made a family settelment out of which he has given some of his own earned property to yur father it will become absolute property of your father and he has all rights vested in him for doing any thing of his choice to do with the property and you can not claim out of this property as there is no right left to you of your father's property however out of the Grand father's share of property you can clim your share after his demice if he dies intestate.
