Sir your father can apply for partition through the court and file the petition only if it is the ancestral property and if it is self acquired property of your grandfather then your father cannot claim any thing.

The personal law governing Sikhs in terms of intestate succession (case where person has not made a will) is the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. All class one heirs have a right on their father's property but a grandson does not, unless he is the son of a predeceased son. i.e. if your father's father passed away before your grandfather then he will have the right to succession. Your father can file for a partition suit in the local civil court under which he is eligible for 1/5th share of the ancestral property.
