Quick Summary

This discussion revolves around a father who sold ancestral agricultural land between 1972 and 1990 to fund his daughters' marriages. The remaining property is now held by his sons. One daughter, who received land as a gift ('pasupu kunkuma') for her marriage and subsequently sold it, has filed a partition suit. The core question is whether she can claim a share again, particularly in light of the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005, and if the sales made for marriages constitute a partition that prevents a second claim. Experts advise that the applicability of the 2005 Act and the validity of the partition depend heavily on specific facts and documentation, recommending consultation with a local lawyer.

Dear Sir,
It is a point to be decided technically depending upon facts of the case. Normally second partition suit is not allowed. It must be established that the said property is ancestral property coming from last four generations.

Does joint family property mean ancestral property? You mentioned in your query that your father sold agricultural lands separately for each time at the time of your sisters' marriage. And mentioned that her (4th daughter) her share as pasupukumkuma as Gift. so When did make the partition. Your query needs clarity.

You have not disclosed whether subject property was ancestral or self acquired by father ?
Whether joint family property means "Hindu Undivided Family" property or purchased/ acquired from joint family funds ?
If it was self acquired the father was competent to dispose it off.
Even if it was ancestral the father can sell it for "needs" and "necessities"
It is advisable to consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant records for better appreciation of facts, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

Yes, what do you mean by "Joint Family Property"? Facts posted suggest that it is not ancestral property, but the self-earned property of the father.

Technically they are eligible for demand.......BUT
if your father sold those property(land) after title given to your sisters then they can't demand more.
Means,if already your father first transfer the share of your sisters land to them then sell it for marriage then they can't demand more,but if your father did not transfer to your sisters then they may take part on partition.

For Example
*if your father have 7 acre land and wish to give it equally to all children then all get 1 acre each,
Now if he sell 1 acre for one marriage means remaining land is 6 acre.
**Now again on 2nd marriage he sell 1 acre then remaining land is 5 acre....but children are same 7
*****and so on.......

But if he already divided, then sell each land for their marriage,then no one will interrupt.....

So it was just example,we need to go through details documents and facts before any suggestion,so please consult your local lawyer with all docs and facts via online its not easy to solve....i just give you simple example to understand in details...hope you like and understand.

Assuming that your father is living and the properties belonged to yor father either by inheritance or self acquired, then the properties shall be your father's own and absolute properties
In the given situation, nobody even the sons can claim any share in the property as a right, at least not during his lifetime.
If you confirm that your father is not living anymore, and if he is reported to have died intestate then even though your father has gifted or settled any property to your sisters, she still has rights in the properties left behind by him without making any arrangement.
The oral partition among the sons after your father's lifetime is not valid especially excluding the daughters without giving any compensation or share in the proeprty to them and without they having relinquished their rights by a registered release deed, hence if this situation prevails, your sister has a right to claim a share in the property as per law.
