My Grandfather died without a Will in 1950 leaving behind 2 sons and 4 daughters. He owned 16 acres of land close to Chandigarh. Daughters were well settled and did not claim anything. That land was mutated equally in his 2 sons names (8 acres each and one of them is my father). Those lands were acquired by Govt in 1976 and the compensation was given in separate cheques to the 2 brothers. My father used the money to buy a shop and bought a 200 sq. yard plot on which he built our home by taking a loan from the company in which he worked.
We are 2 brothers and 1 sister. Now my father wants to divide his property amongst his 2 sons only and does not want to give me anything saying that he has already taken care of me by giving adequate dowry in my marriage. My husband's friend is saying I can claim my share in my father's property since the proceeds from ancestral lands were used to make this property and I have 1/3rd share. But somewhere on this forum, I read that the property inherited under Section-8 of HSA1956 is the personal property and it is not the HUF or Coparcenary property/Ancestral property.
Need urgent help. Please guide me what to do.
