How to reclaim ancestral property and stop father from selling it


04-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi, I would like to know that the ancestral property sold by my father can be reclaimed by me or not ? Is there a way to put pressure on my father not to sell ancestral property further ? And, how can I ask a share in the ancestral property that has been sold ? My father owns ancestral property in Saharanpur(UP).

In ancestral property you have a inherent Right to share along with your Father. If you want to ask your share in the property, the remedy you have is that you can file a suit for partition claiming your share in the ancestral property.
If your father is about to sell the property, you can file a Suit for permanent and mandatory injunction against your father for stay on that property for any further sale of the property.

From what you have stated, the answer to your question is in the negative. No. Assuming that the property you are talking about is his self acquired property, you can not stop him from selling his properties
Till the time your father is alive you cannot ask for share in ancestral property
