Partition deed

We are three brothers and four sisters. after the death of my parents in 2002, my second brother made the partition deed of my father's self-acquired property and without taking the 4 sisters' consent, he omitted their names in the Family tree also. Can sisters challenge in the court of law.

You all 7 legal heirs are entitled to 1/7 share each in your father property. 

The partition deed made by your brother is illegal and invalid. 

Rest of 2 brothers and 4 sisters must challenge said partition deed in court by filing partition suit in court to get their share in property of your father by court order.

Yes.  The partition deed made by another brother is not valid.  All the legal heirs of your parents have an equal right over the property/ies.  File a partition suit in a court of law.

The partition deed is invalid and illegal document despite the fact it has not been challenged by either of sibling for more than 23 years.

The sisters have equal right in the intestate property left by deceased father.

It is better to show relevant documents to a local prudent lawyer for analyses of facts, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

The legal heir of the deceased father are entitled to an equal share in the property left behind by the deceased Hindu male, therefore all the legal heirs who have been deprived of their rights in the property can file a suit for partition and claim their rightful share in the property with separate possession
