Whether you thought your stepmother was your mother or not, the property in the name of your stepmother (whether bought in her name by your grandmother), her children and your grandfather if alive are the legal heirs.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate) 04 February 2025
You are the step grandson to your step grandmother.
Upon her death her own legal heirs are entitled to succeed the properties left behind by her upon her intestate death.
You are a third perosn, not only you, even your fateher is a third person to that property.
Hence you cannot claim any share out of her property s a right.
Dr. J C Vashista (Advocate ) 04 February 2025
You are not entitled for a share in your step-grandmother's property.
It is better to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for analyses of facts/ documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

But my grandmother died in pakistan before partition and after partition our grand father came to india and remarried all my uncle and aunts are above 70 years of age....my father was born before partition of India in pakistan in 1945.. so we saw this grandmother as our real grandmother and when she alive she gave everything to there children earned by my grandfather... And we are thrown away like fly in the milk... We were not given our share...

Neither you nor your father can claim any share out of your step grandmother property for any reason.
Your father and his siblings remained silent all these years from the date of pre independence era.
It is not ancestral property.
Legally your step grandmother is not your original grandmother.
Even if it is considered as original then any claim for a share in the property can be made by her own legal heirs and not third generation children.
The question either is hypothetical or academic in nature hence you can discuss the topic with your tutor for more academic clarifications.

Sir this is practical thing which we are facing
P. Venu (Advocate) 06 February 2025
Certainly, your father had been one among the legal heirs to his father, but not to his step-mother. However, what all properties belonged to the his father as well the step-mother is a question of fact. There could be no definite opinions unless the documents are perused and issues discussed.
