If  court has made you a coparcener in the property then under no circumstances your father can  give the property to his son. However he can give his portion of share to his son.

Depending on the facts of the case, you can file , suit for declaration thereby seeking declaration that you are the owner of the share and also seek cancellation of registration.

Also, file an application for temporary injunction thereby seeking stay on the property which means that  he cannot sell or do any modification in the said property

Sir, in your situation you may file a fresh suit for Declaration of the registered document as void as well as a suit for partition so that you may get your share in the property. It does appear that there is an element of deception in concealing your name from the registry and this could be a ground to challenge the registry
