Sorry There is a correction in the previous query and posting query again . My friend has confirmed that It is fathers sisters and not daughters. Hence the revised query is as follows
my friend had purchased land in lonawala in 1984. The registered sale deed had signatures of the inherited owners ie father,wife and his son. The signature of the owners two sisters were not taken as it was not required in that year. (I think that the act for share of daughters came in 1991 ) Their signatures were taken only on the unregistered sathe khat on a stamp paper. The physical possession and 7/12 was transferred to my friend immediately after sale deed.
Now after 25 years can the owners fathers sisters claim share in the land?
1. can the fathers sisters file case against my friend after 25 years?
2. can the fathers sisters claim the sale deed to be invalid?
3. do the fathers sisters or their heirs have any legal right now to claim share now ?
4. one of the fathers sisters has expired 5 years ago . can her sons file a case now?

Sorry. Your friend is not clear or he is rather quite confused. The property could not have been inherited by Father, Wife and Son. It can either be the Father or the Wife who could have inherited from their respective parents. The SON could not have inherited anything at all when the Father and Mother are alive!
