The status of the property acquired by your maternal grandmother should be self acquired.
Her children should be eligible to get equal share.

The fact is that the married status of your nani did not stand in her way of inheriting the property left behind by her father.
So also the married status of her daughters will not deprive her daughters from inheriting the property left behind by her.
But, I think, UP has some special provisions as far as agricultural land is concerned. You have to wait till some one familiar with UP laws in this website responds or you have to get in touch with your local lawyer.

You did not post that agriculture land is in UP in your first query.
The land is agriculture and devolved from mother.
You may consult a counsel well versed with such matters and laws in UP.
There are many threads on similar query at LCI e.g:

You may wait for advise of experts well versed with laws of state of UP.
