The time limit to file a partition suit is 12 years as per Article 65 of the Limitation Act. This period begins when there is a notification about the adverse claim to the co-owners in the public domain.

Your sisters can claim partition of properties even at this stage stating that they were never aware that  the property has been partitioned earlier.

They are entitled to claim their legitimate share in the property as a right because your father is reported to have died intestate.

If you have evidence for oral partition of the property that belonged to your father as his self acquired property then yoiu can challenge their partition suit and get thier suit dismissed.

She is entitled to have an equal share in the intestate property left behind by her father and seek partition thereof.

If they approach court defend it by engaging advocate in court.

Any limitations in the partition suit follow guidelines from the Limitation Act.

According to the Limitation Act, in the case of a suit for partition, the limitation is fixed at 12 years from the day the plaintiff claims the property.

The partition suit limitation for ancestral properties is also fixed at 12 years.

The limitation runs when you demand for partition and  file suit for partition after 12years.

Defend it in court if she files suit that the suit is barred by limitation with relevant documents.

The partition suit (if filed) shall be dismissed on the point of limitation when contested, if your lawyer submits his/her objection on the point.
