Unfortunately whatever stated you in the last of your post is true vide Order 2 Rule 2 comes in the way to initiate the suit afresh. Res-judicata is a term which is a major hurdle to initiate whatever you desire.
However, if the nature of the suit is changed then definitely you may try for that. You have not mentioned about the status of your father.

As according to you, the property is ancestral though your father could not prove it before the court, so you being coparcener have automatic a right in the said property. You can demand for partition and possession despite of failure of your father to get the desired relief. The date of knowledge of said settlment of the ancestral property among his two sons shall have to be shown in the recent past by you and accordingly the challenge may be brought within limitation. A wise drafting of the plaint is required. Engage a senior lawyer dealing in civil side of your area.

Besides the advise of expert sh. Raj Kumar Makkad, which I fully agree and appreciate, other coparcerners (your brothers & sisters) should also join you as "plaintiff" in the suit for partition.

Yes, you can file a suit for partition. But what is the basis for your assertion that the land is ancestral? The crucial question how your father had acquired title to the property and how he had conveyed the same to the other sons excluding your father?

You siad that excluding your father his other brothers were given the property. Now my questions are Is there any document to that effect, where is some recitals regarding the property will be there?. Obviously your father might have joined his other brothers and his father in the suit and what is their stand?. Of all said and done, if the father fails in his duty, it will not preclude you from filing the fresh suit, joining all the legal heirs to the property. Another thing is if you have any sister then the things will be much easier. Sec.11 in these fades into insignificance. Go ahead

At this state you have nothing to lose except the litigation expenses if you file the case, If you do not file, your share as nil has already been decided.

Litigation expense is bound to be substantial; it would be unwise to jump into litigation without ascertaining the basic aspects.

The value of property must be substantial as compared to litigation expenses. For claiming right, pains have to be taken sometimes expenses has to be incurred..

As per Court fees law in A.P, in a suit for partition and if you plead joint or constructive possession there is a fixed court fees of Rs. 200/- only even if the property is worth crores. That to in beetween co-heris, or co-owner there is no adverse possession. try another suit, come what may,if possible with a woman heir if any in your family, say your sister. The inaction of a karth can never stand in the way of claiming a share in the joint family assts.

The court fee for the partition of joint co-parceners property is nominal alover in India.
