Daughters have equal rights as sons in HUF property or ancestral property. If your father disposed off his self acquired property by will your suit for partition may or may not survive. Provide more details for more advice.

Daughters do have a share in the father's property, provided it is ancestral property. A self-acquired property of the father will devolve as per the Will of the father, if any. However, in case the father died intestate, i.e. without a Will, the property will devolve equally among the Class 1 legal heirs, which will include the daughter. As per the brief facts, and assuming that your father died intestate, the daughter (your sister) is likely to succeed. However, you are advised to contact a lawyer with all details to get a better idea. The present opinion is in response to the limited facts put forth by you.

Hello,
As per the amendment of the Hindu Succession Amendment act, 2005 a daughter has a birth right to share the property of her father,like that of a son.
she is equal to a sin in respect of succession in all respects.
As per the latest judgement of the Supreme court only requirement is that, both the father and the daughter must have been alive at the time of the commencement of the Act,
therefore in the year 2005 your father and sister were both alive . Now she has a right and she claim the share in the property, irrespective of her marital status
winning and loosing a civil auit is totally a different issue it depends upon lot of things, but yes she can claim the share
