Family settlement is valid and legal document where your name appears as one of the beneficiary, which has not been challenged by either of the sibling / LRs of your grand father since 1955.

The deed is one of settlement, not of partition.
How could be the property be ancestral when it had been self-earned property of the grandfather and he had settled the same among his sons? A settled deed is essentially a gift deed.
As to your relative rights in the property settled in favour of your father, no definite suggestion is possible unless the deed is perused and the terms examined.

From the facts it is not an ancestral property.
However, show all related documents to local lawyer and discuss in detail.

The share of property he retained for him cannot be treated as ancestral coparcenary property.
The intestate property belonging to him in 1984 will have to be divided among his legal heirs as per the Hindu Succession Act, if he is a Hindu.
If he had a predeceased legal hair that person's property will have to be divided among his/her legal heirs.
However the present judgement does not have any application to your case by any manner.

Agree with the advice from expert K. Rajasekharan.
