After the amendment to the Hindu Succession Act in 2005 a woman is as much an inheritor in that father's property as a son. Hence, the woman too shall inherit from the father if the father has died intestate.
The fact that the owner belonged to Schedule Tribe shall have no bearing on the merits of the case as the code is same for Hindus belonging to any category.
