Your sister can file for claim in property.. because there is no bar for filing a case. But. Since u have received the property through a registered will, your sisters won't succeed in their claim. You and wife are the absolute owner of the property as per facts stayed by you.

Because the property is not ancestral and is self acquired by your father, and the same has been transferred to you and your wife by way of a will and the property has not devolved upon you in absence of a will, then in these circumstances, it seems that your sisters will not be able to claim any share over the 50 sq yards, or legitimately prevent you from selling the property.
