Q: Wants to claim share in grandfather property which was given to uncle

Grandfather's property after he died with no will for his property, grandmother gifted to her younger son after her elder son death. Now am the son of her elder son, how can i claim for my grandfather's property.

Advocate T. V. Laxmikantham answered
you have absolute right on the property, your grand mother has no right to gift the property as this is not her own acquired property. in the ancestral property every grand child has a right of share as they are the co-parceners, thus you can claim the share in the property.
