An unregistered sale deed doesn't convey proper title to your father and it is not legally a valid document to claim the property. We can only show our possession through the other documents you have mentioned but not the title to the property. And I cannot speculate other remedy without going through the contents of the unregistered document you have. So kindly produce the mentioned unregistered document for perusal.

Who hold the actual possession of disputed prpoety ? 2. Are The predeceased owner of the property and other witnesses are signed in the stamp paper that is sale deed or not? . Now more then 20 years gone. The legal heir that is wife of the owner refused to register the property to your father in this circumstances You may approach an appropriate court for your remedy.
