Grandson's Property Rights: What Options If Denied a Share?

• * A grandson has a birthright to ancestral property, even if his father and grandfather are alive.
• * For property self-acquired by the grandfather, the grandson does not have a direct birthright; the grandfather can dispose of it as he wishes.
• * If the grandfather dies without a will for self-acquired property, the Hindu Succession Act applies, and the grandson can claim his father's share if the father is deceased.
• * To claim property rights, one should verify property documents, attempt negotiation, and if unsuccessful, file a partition suit in civil court.
