Ancestral property dispute

My grandfather has done partition deed of the 2/3 of ancestral property to his son with out any intimation to my mother in 2004. Remaining property he registered it on my grand mothers name at the same time. Now when she asked for her share they are saying she does not have any right. Does.my mother have right to claim her share in the property now?

You mother must file a suit for partition and possesion for entire property. She should also file  a claim for mesne profits ;

They are saying after 12 years of partition deed she has not right to claim. Is it true?

Actually the property was not your grandfather's owned property but ancestral property ,means that belonged to all of hiers; You grandfather could gift or give his personal share to any one but he cannot partition the ancestral property without your Mother's consent as she is one of the co owner.

regarding the 12 years  that is not apllicable to co-owners ,that is owner by prescripttion but for strangers not between the sharholders.

You mother is co owner not any stranger so she should file for suit. Hire the services of some good Civil lawyer and file case challenge the title of other heirs too.

. It is well settled that the possession of one co-owner is considered in law as possession of all co-owners. The possession of a co-owner is presumed to be on the basis of joint title. Long and continuous possession by itself would not constitute adverse possession. In order to constitute adverse possession, it is not enough to show that one of them is in sole possession and enjoyment of the properties. The co-owner out of possession must be proved to have had notice of assertion of hostile possession ousting him. The relevant judgments are as under:

 In P. Lakshmi Reddy v. L. Lakshmi Reddy, AIR 1957 SC 314, the Supreme Court held that the possession of one co-heir is considered, in law, as possession of all the co-heirs. The relevant portion of the said judgment is reproduced hereunder under: -

No, your mother has no right to claim her share in ancestral property. It was purely your grandfathers dicretion, to whom give his property.
