Question
My great grandfather & grandfather has 15 acres of land. My grandfather had 3 sons. After his demise 3 sons divided the property & took 5 acres each & legally registered on their names. Now my father (2nd son of grandfather) has 2 sons & 1 daughter. All of them are married. Now I and my brother (both sons) purchased property (Agri land/house) from my father. Dad also agreed for the same and everything happened legally through the sale deed in 2021. Now the question is my sister (daughter of my father) have any right to claim on the property?
Because she is saying she will file a case. Please help me on this issue.

The property once divided and registered in individual names of the coparceners, it will not be considered as ancestral property. On partition, it will take the character of self acquired property for which the father can do anything and can even sell the property to anyone. So if the father has already disposed off the property during his lifetime and the property has also changed hands then in that case, the daughter would have no claim over it. She could have claimed her share from ancestral property only and not self acquired property of the father. So if she files a case, she cannot claim it as ancestral property because it has lost the character of being ancestral at the time of division itself.
