No! HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY RIGHT IN THE ANCESTRAL HOUSE. as father's brother's wife remarried/ so  her son/your step cousin nor his mother doesn't get any rights in the property.

No is the answer. He is a mere stranger to the property.

Was the said wife owner of said property?

If NO she herself being not the owner there is NO question of succession to her legal heirs in the said property.

Agree with experts.

Thanks for agreeing Mr. Bhartesh goyal.

Since your father's brother's wife married another person after her husband's death and a son was born out of her remarriage, then the son can claim rights in his father's property.

Once her mother married another person after her husband's death, she loses all her rights in the previous husband's property and the son born to her of second marriage cannot claim any right over his mother's previous husband.

He has no rights whatsoever in is mother's decesed husband's properties.
