Since your father died intestate ie. Without a Will , so as per Hindu Succession Act, your sisters have share in the property.
When a person died intestate without creating a will then all legal heirs inherit the property by way of succession.

It is the settled position that all siblings have got a share, the extent of share depends on the personal law you are following.

Every legal heir has rights in the properties of the father and hence it is general advise that they will get their respective share in the properties however there are many other options for you to oppose their claims.

Yes, your sister's have an equal shares in that property, and you have already entered your's and sister's name on the 7/12 extract. Now if your sisters are willing not to take their share and to leave the same to you then you may make a deed registered in your favour, ie- Haakasood patra
