Sir,
As the property legally belonged to Mr. A and Mrs. A has predeceased Mr. A, the siblings of Mr. A will share the property equally.
Good luck,

Sir , additional information - the land was acquired with the funds of Mr.A . It was NOT inherited .
Additional question - does the fact that Mr.A's sister being married prior to 1965 - disqualify her from a share ?

the brother and sister of Mr. A would legally inherit in equal proportions. the date of marriage of sister of Mr. A is immaterial.
