pls clear that what is the nature of property from where your mother get it ?
no one can sell whole property without consent of all parties
your married sister cant be force to sell property without consent of all parties but she can take order from civil court for partition or her share

No, I disagree.
The sale by one co sharer without the consent of other co sharer is always valid and enforceable but with respect to his share only.
In your case, the father can indeed sell or transfer to your sister without your consent regarding his undivided share. Thereafter she could file suit for partition so that her 2/3rd share could be demarcated. After the recent amendment of the Transfer of Property Act, the family dwelling house can also be partitioned by the married daughter.

thanks for replies but please understand that above mentioned house property was my mother's own hard earned property and was on her name when she expired.Mother was double graduate and a working lady.
