Under the Indian Succession act father has n right to alienate his property.

Parveen Kr. Aggarwal (Expert) 13 March 2010
The ancestral property in the hands of a father is not his exclusive ownership and he only owns a part of it (to the extent of his share). So, the alienation of the entire property (including share of others) by father alone, is absolutely unauthorised and can be challenged in a court of law.

File a suit for partition. Ancestral property cannot be sold

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 13 March 2010
rajeev! property has not been sold but his sons and daughters have been bypassed and has been decreed throgh civil court in favour of his 2 grandsons however he has 4 grandsons.

This is a fit case whereas any of the son or daughter can challenge such decree and mutation entered by way of that decree and can get it set aside.
