Any property inherited upto four generations of male lineage from the father, father’s father or father’s father’s father i.e. father, grand father etc., is termed as ancestral property
In other words, property inherited from mother, grandmother, uncle and even brother is not ancestral property—In ancestral property, the right of property accrues to the coparcener on birth—The concept of ancestral property is in existence since time immemorial.
