Your aunties have equal share as your father and uncle in the ancestral property. Its better to give their share and end the matter amicably. As your aunties have filed a case against your father, uncle, your sisters and you, they have a good ground to succeed. Talk to your aunties and arrive at an amicable settlement. They may accept and withdraw the case. If they still want to proceed legally, you cannot stop them from doing so but to contest the case on merits.

Hi
In your case, the succession opened in the year 1980 .
Since your grand father has registered his share on your name and your sister's name, the same cannot be questioned in any court of law.
Also in the year 1980, daughter's did not get any share in ancestral property since the hindu succession act of 1956 granted rights only on self acquired property.
So in your case your aunt will not get any share of ancestral property and she WILL LOOSE the case.
