if your father had died intestate then she is entitled to get a equal share along with the other legal heirs

The blood remains the same, whether she is a Hindu or converted to other religion. She is certainly entitled for her share of property, if your father is intestate. However the right is limited only to her and not to her children.

What is the status of the missing complaint? As a daughter she has a claim over her father's property along with the others.U cannot deny her right.She can surface any time and stake her claim. In Law there is no distinction between son and daughter in property matters,each of them share equally.

Yes, being a legal heir to the deceased father, she is legally entitled to a share in the intestate property and she can claim it anytime in her life time.
