Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Dear friends,

I have a query related to land of my grandmother which is related to Hindu succession law.

Actually the land belongs to my grandfather and my grandfather died on 29-05 � 1986 and after the death of my grandfather; the land goes under the name of my grandmother.

My grandmother having 6 daughters and 2 son�s.

My grandmother died on 02-06-2013 and she doesn�t make any will, but before the death of my grandmother already 2 daughters have taken more than 60 % of the land out of 100% by doing some fraud way and already taken the signature of my grandmother.

Therefore 2 sons of my grandmother applied for the 40% of the land out of 100% under the law of inheritance to the authorized officer of the state, and in a legal way the authorized officer make the remaining 40% of the land under the names of 2 son�s .And now the son�s having a proof that they have taken 40% of the land in a legal way.

Therefore at present less than 40 % of the land under the name of the 2 son�s.

But now the remaining 4 daughters claims that the 40 % of the land taken by the sons of my grandmother in a fraud way and the 4 daughters want 40% of the land under the act of Hindu succession law.

The four daughters and their husbands of my grandmother are very rich, they are having so many properties in their name, and they are having so many businesses and so many vehicles that mean they are in the list of rich family in the city.

On the other hand the sons of my grandmother, they are very poor, they don�t have that much money also to survive .So this land is the only hope of their surviving.

Now my question is that in this case whether it is right to distribute the 40 % of the land equally among the remaining 4 daughters and the 2 sons under the Hindu succession Act 1956?

Because already 2 daughters of my grandmother have taken the land and the remaining 4 daughters are very rich enough but still they want the land in equal portion. Then it is fair to give the land to the remaining 4 daughters in equal portion instead of giving the land to the poor son�s of my grandmother?

If not so?

Then please suggest us some suggestion or laws against this so that i can able to fight for them and for the truth.

Your early response will be very valuable to me.
