Daughter is a coparcener, like any other son, in the family. She has full right to have a share in the ancestral property like her brother.

She can demand partition when her father is alive.

As a coparcener, the daughter is entitled to a share out of her father's shar in the ancestral property.
She can very well file a suit for partition claiming her legitimate share in the ancestral property even during the lifetime of her father.
There is no bar for that.
