Where a Hindu dies after the commencement of the Hindu Succession (Amendment ) ,Act , 2005 his interest in the property by the Mitakshara Law , shall devovle by testanentary or intestatw successiion as the case may be under this Act & not by survivorship and the coparcenary property shall be deemed to have been divided as if a partition had taken place & the daughter is entitiled the same share as is allotted to son

Your name is on the 7/12 records then you can take your share. Please mediate with your brothers and mother and explain them that you are also their sibling and it would be appropriate for them to give your share. As per the 2005 citation both i.e. your father and yourself should be alive at the time of 2005 to facilitate your right over the property but in your case your father has passed away in 2001 and subsequently your name is recorded in the 7/12 so your right as a shareholder is established and you can also use it in civil Litigation if your share is not given. You have to technically fight the case if it goes into Litigation.

Hello, yes definitely you may avail your rights in the said property . You may issue legal notice against the concerned parties demanding your share on failure you may prosecute them by filing suit for partition before concerned civil court.
