There is a lot of confusion about the definition of ancestral property. Lets say X and Y are brothers and inherited and shared all their immovable property from their father. After X, his property passed to his only one son X1 , then to his only son X2 and then to his only X3. Four generations are completed and no partition happened in all four generation because of having lineage is of single sons. No person from X to X3 acquire any other property externally and added to the property.
In case of Y, story is different. Y had two sons, Y1 & Y_1. They distributed it by a will. Y1 had two sons again. Y2 and Y_2. They also distributed it by will from his father. Y2 had again two sons. Y3 and Y_3. They also inherited and distributed their property. No person from Y to Y3 did acquire any other property externally and added to their property.
Are the properties of X3 and Y3 individually can be treated as ancestral property?

The lineage of both of them is different but the respective properties inherited by them from their ancestors is ancestral.
