The amendment to Hindu Succession Act, 1956 came into force in 2005 with prospective effects. Hence, considering your father died before 2005, you do not have the right to inherit his ancestral property.

as per latest Sc judgement daughter's right to ancestral property does not arise if the father died before the amendment to Hindu law came into force in2005 . as per 2015 judgement .The father would have to be alive on September 9, 2005, if the daughter were to become a co-sharer with her male siblings.The amendment to the Hindu Succession Act giving daughters equal rights to ancestral property is applicable even for girls born before the law was changed in 2005, the Bombay High Court has said. hence your father dead before 2005 so you dint have the right on ancestral property
