Equal right to ancestral land?

We're 4 sons .... do we all have equal right to ancestral land currently in the name of father and mother?

basically, I've had some issues with my father, and he refuses to give me a share .. can he do that?

What's the relevant law here? We're in Kerala.

In case of ancestral property you must have right our property, But in your father's self-aquired property you cant right over it.

More Details:

1. We have an ancestral property which is transferred from my Great-grand father to my Grand father1 and then to my father after my grand-father1's death.

2.We have also a property which is purchased by my Grand father1 and then transferred to my father after my grand-father's death.

3. We have also a property which is purchased by my Father on his own.

Now, my father's elder sister (Expired in 1981) son and daughters and my father's younger sister(alive) together filed a case against all the above said properties.

Do they have rights to claim the property?

My father gifted a site of (30 x 40) to his younger sister as "Stridhana" titled.

My grandfather2 expired in 1958.

My grandfather1 expired in 1960.
