Yes. For ancestral property, all the legal heirs have equal rights over it and the father cannot refuse the rights of any legal heir.

Legal heirs can not be deprived for their rights in ancestral properties .If father denies then legal heirs can claim through due process of law.

The action of your father would yield no fruits as she is entitled for an equal share in ancestral property.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 25 December 2020
The property is in the name of your father. How it came in the name of your father?

Ancestral property is defined as one that is inherited up to four generations of male lineage and should have remained undivided throughout this period.

First confirm whether the properties fulfil the required definition of ancestral property.

If it fulfills the requirement, agree with the advice from experts.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 25 December 2020
If all the properties does not fulfill the definition of ancestral property, in that case your father can gift / bequeath / sell it to anyone.
Dr J C Vashista (Expert) 26 December 2020
Well explained and advised by expert Mr. Rajendra K Goyal, I endorse and appreciate.

Hindu Succession Act, 1956 has been amended in 2005 bestowing equal right of daughter in the intestate property of father, which is inapplicable in the instant case, where father do not want to give share to his daughter.
