you approach concerned revenue / municipal authorities for the purpose of mutilation of the property in the name of legal heirs of the deceased. they require some formal documents along with family members certificate, notarized affidavits and etc. It is not a big issue

It appears that your grandmom was the owner of the land. I assume she has passed away. If yes then the property will devolve on her legal heirs which includes her widower and children. Your father being one of the children can have his name entered. Now it depends on the revenue authority as to what procedure they use to transfer the land to the names of legal heirs. Many may insist for getting a Letters of Administration from the High Court and some may only require the affidavit from the legal heirs alongwith a public notice in newspapers inviting objections from public against transfer of land from the name of deceased owner to the legal heirs. So first ascertain the procedure of the revenue authority.
