        So this is the land that belonged to my great grandfather, no idea on how he got this land mostly from his parents, now my father and my grandparent are trying to sell this property without my consent is it possible? and could I do anything to stop this?

        Note: This is a part of undivided property among many of my relatives.

          It’s their land. Not yours.

              Stfu if you’re not a lawyer/someone with knowledge of property law. Don’t give wrong info and mislead others

                    Whoever is the title owner of the land can sell freely. If you feel you are one of the title owner – only then you can intervene.

                                Unless great grandfather made you the property owner, tough luck. If your grandfather and father are alive they can sell the property as they like. If they die, they can’t deny you the property as it is your ancestral property.

                                    Wrong. Ancestral property rights extend upto 4 generations. He was right on the property by birth. Don’t comment when you’re not a lawyer/have no idea what you’re talking about

                                  A lawyer this side. Of course you can stop it. Unless the land was self acquired by father or grandfather, you have a right on it. If you file an injunctive suit at your local court, you can stop the sale from happening. Even if the sale goes through, you can contest it. Even if land goes to third party after sale, you will have a right of election to choose between taking your appropriate portion of land, or its value. You can even go a step further and ask for partition pursuant to which, your portion can’t be sold without your consent.

                                          Self acquired property is something which your parents acquire out of their own earnings, whereas the situation you are sharing involves property which is ancestral property as it is being passed on from forefathers to the next generation.

                                                I also want to know whether the registration of this property as a whole requires my signature

                                                  And as I was against the selling of this property they planned to sell this without my signature and is this possible

                                                      The remedies available to you are already mentioned in the above comment, I would suggest meeting a lawyer ASAP for the exact suitable remedy.

                                                        Being a legal heir makes it essential for your signature in order for a sale to be performed.
                                                        But firstly there is a need to be confirmed whether the property was self acquired by your grandparent or he inherited it.

                                                            It belonged to my great grandfather and he did not make any kind of will or settlement to any of his children, this property then passed on to their children after death

                                                                Given the situation mentioned the property falls under ancestral property as per my understanding.
                                                                You can file a suit for partition and object to the sale in civil court where the property is situated.

                                                          He’s the only one who gave you correct info. Don’t listen to any of the other morons in this comment section. Consult a property lawyer irl for more detailed and specific info related to your case

                                                          He has provided you general info and the law applicable in such situations

                                                                  I have a similar issue where my bloody father acquired laand from his sisters when my grandfather died, there was no will written by my grandfather. Now my father kicked me out of the house and i have a gut feeling that my mother is persuading my dad to sell the flat to my mama. I want to stop since it’s the place built by my grandfather and my dad has no right whatsoever giving the place to anyone or kicking me out for that matter.
                                                                  Need legal help I want to keep the place safe for the family’,s future generation.

                                                                  My father did not even put enough efforts in his life to build his own fucking house and still he was ungrateful towards my grandparents.

                                                                    Second, All the lawyers advising here, also tell him how many years of fight and legal fees he is expecting to spend on it. My conservative estimate – one decade at least and fees depends on the value of property share.

                                                                    So best of luck
