Landed property partition

dear sir,

may kindly guide me on the following issue.

.We are hindus living in Orissa state.

My grand mother X had 9 acres of agricultural land IN A CITY which was distributed in two parts . One part went jointly to her elder son A & his ( A's) four sons- O,P,Q,R.The other part went jontly to her son B & his three sons-E,F,G.SHE HAD ONLY TWO SONS & NO DAUGHTER. The afore-mentioned partition was registered in 1973.I am the son R of father A.There is no clear cut demarcation of properties jointly held by my father & his sons. My grand mother X passed away in 2000 & my father passed away in 2012. We brothers have an elder sister who now claims an equal share of the properties held jointly in the name of father A & sons O,P,Q,R. My question is- what will be my sister's share in the property held jointly in the name of my father & his sons?

thanks,

c s

she is eligible for equal share.

Dear Mr. Raghavan,

The property was gifted to my grand mother by her father-in-law in 1945.Will it not be her self-acquired property?

Regards,

Your father got a share from her mother through partition deed, which was duly registered .After passing of your father i think no partition was effected for the above mentioned properties. If you are going to effect partition now,your sister is eligible for a share.

Your question on gift deed effected by FIL, are all irrelevant now.
