Kindly answer..
The court held that the amended provisions of the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, could not have retrospective effect despite it being a social legislation. The court said the father would have had to be alive on September 9, 2005, if the daughter were to become a co-sharer with her male siblings.

Do not worry, your sister cannot claim her shares into the father's property. Because as per the recent landmark Judgement of the Supreme Court, if a person dies on or after 2005, then only her daughter can claim her shares in the property.
But you father has expired on 28th Feb, 2002, so even she files case, she will not succeed in her case.

As regards your mother's property your sister has equal share whether the same is her ancestral property or sell acquired.
