If the property is ancestral property then your cousins are entitled the share in the property and if the property is personal property of your father then they have no right to claim the share in the property. So for as the act of the secretary of gram panchayat is concern he has no right to interfere in the matter. I will advice you that you move application before the tehsildar for mutation and he will deside your application if he rejects your application then you go before the civil court by filling a civil suit against the cousins and revenue officer for direction to the revenue officer like tehsildar to enter the name of your father in the revenue record and prove your case that property is personal property of your father and not ancestral property.

I hope this advice will help you to understand and face the problem.

You need to file a civil suit gor declaration of ownership and permanent injunction restraining then from your father's possession against your uncle and panchayat.
Upon proving ownership by documentary evidence, it can be transfered in your father's name.
