Quick Summary

Under current law, women have equal rights to ancestral property as men. While a son cannot directly claim a share in his maternal grandfather's property if his mother doesn't pursue her entitlement, he may have rights through her if she claims her share. Recent legal amendments treat female heirs as 'coparceners', meaning they and their heirs have inherent rights by birth, potentially allowing sons to claim partition through their mother.

No. You have no interest. You will have a right in your mother's share if she takes her share.

She can relinquish her share by a gift deed

Your grandmother and mother have a right in their husband / father's (your maternal grandfather i.e., nana) intestate property but you do not have any right, interest or claim to file a suit for partition of such property. .

Your mother's right subsists even after lifetime, unless she had relinquished her rights in the property through a duly executed registered deed.

Most respectfully I have some different opinion from all the learned advocates. The simple question is that if son of female can file a suit to claim ancestral property which he entitle through mother or a female?
Answer of all learned friends was correct up to year 2005 but after that the female heir treated as "coparcener" which means "she and all her heirs" having inherent right over the property by birth.
May be son of a living female is not arrayed in class 1 heir still he is successor of the female or now better to say that he is Coparcener through mother and having rights in property to seek partition.
At least he can seek partition from his mother regarding entire property she have inherited or would inherit.
Please feel free to correct my view.

With due respect, the querist does not appear to have the case that the property is ancestral.

Here the mother is not interested to take a share in her father's property. Then how a son can ask partition is my doubt, the learned expert Mr.J.K.Agrawal sir.

J K Agrawal (Expert) 17 April 2021
That is also mine. The question is like coparcener through a male member is having right by birth. So the coparcener through female member also having right by birth or not?

J K Agrawal (Expert) 17 April 2021
As per amendment the female member being treated as coparcener now simple question arises that her sons and daughters are coparceners or not

This is ancestral property. My mother has right take her share. But, she is not aaking her share.Some portion of propeeties already sold my mother also signed the sale deed as seller. Remaining land also she is not asking her share.
As per agarwal sir view, is legal heirs of female is coperacener?

P. Venu (Expert) 17 April 2021
How is that the property is ancestral?
