As per Section 15(2) (a) of the Hindu Succession Act 1956, any property inherited by a female Hindu from her father or mother shall devolve to the son or daughter of the deceased (including the children of any pre-deceased son or daughter), in the absence of any son or daughter of the deceased (including the children of any pre-deceased son or daughter) not upon the other heirs referred to in sub-section (1) in the order specified therein, but upon the heirs of the father. Hence after your mother's demise, the ancestral property of your mother shall directly be devolved upon you, not to your father, hence your father does not have right over such property, All the best. Regards
