Your grandfather and his brother partitioned the property in the year 1963 and hence the share of your grandfather shall be treated as his self-acquired property and he can do as he likes, therefore, your sister has no right over the property.

After partion of your great grand father's property property became your grandfather's self acquired property and he in his lifetime transferred the same to you so now you are absolutr owner of the property and your sisters have no right anf share in it and legally can't claim any share.

Your sister cannot claim any share in the property that was transferred to your name b y your grandfather during his lifetime.
However the 1/4th share of his property is reportedly left behind by your grandfather as intestate, in that she will be eligible to get a share out of your father's share in that property.
