Share of immovable property


27-Aug-2023 (In Civil Law)
My grandfather died in 1982 leaving some land as ancestral property. He had five sons and two daughters. All his sons jointly sold a part of land in 1985 and no share given to their sisters. Grandfather’s daughters filed suit in 1989 and got equal share as sons. Sons appealed to district court against their sisters submitting relevant docs. Appellate court awarded 1/42 share to daughters (1/7 share of father’s 1/6 share) in 2009. Second appeal by daughters is pending in Madras highcourt. 1. Howmuch share daughters are really eligible. Any right to daughters claim share in sold out property?

To answer your questions the documents submitted by your uncles has to perused. If the properties were included in the schedule of the plaint and sold out during the proceedings it would be accounted in the shares of the person who sold the property at the time of passing final decree.
