All the legal heirs including daughter whether married or not have equal rights over ancestral property of their father.

Thabk you for your reply Sir...But question remains open that whether a father whose property is still undivided, can transfer his share through registered will to his daughters only ignoring his son?

No Will can be made for ancestral property, valid Will can only made for self acquired or self owned property.
If the property is ancestral or copacenary in nature, any Will made by the person holding the property is null and void, challenge the Will in the court after the death of the testator.

You don't understand a simple thing that a property that is solely owned by a person only can be disposed by that person either during his lifetime or after his death by making a Will.
An ancestral property is not anyone's self owned or solely owned property but property which has numbers of other owners, all other family members that will include all sons and daughters etc.
So if it is ancestral property with number of owners how anyone can make Will for that property.
Its mere common sense that has to be applied here nothing else.
If your father is sole owner of the property he can make valid Will not for property which has other members too along with him, but if still he makes a Will then that Will is null and void.
