Rights of maternal grandson in Nana's intestate self-made property

Hindu male (referred as 'Maternal Grandfather') died intestate in 1995 with self-earned house in Lucknow(U.P.) leaving behind one wife (Nani of the claimant), 2 sons & 2 daughters. His wife(Nani) expired in 2015, thereafter one of the daughters expired in 2020? Can the son of deceased daughter claim any inheritance rights over self-earned house of his 'maternal grandfather' (Nana)? The self-earned house of Nana is currently in possession of his two sons, both daughters are married living with in-laws. Out of the two daughters, one of them passed away in 2020. Since, 2 sons are insisting for partition of the house through family settlement deed in a unilateral manner denying any share to son of deceased daughter. Whether adverse possession can be claimed in this case by two sons of maternal grandfather(Nana) in order to deny share of inheritance of the son of the deceased daughter(i.e.) maternal grandson? After my Nani's death both sons are living in the self-earned property of my Nana.

In 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that the daughter has the right to inherit her parents' self-acquired property and other property that is the absolute owner, and this rule also applies if the daughter's parents have previously died. 

The SC discovered that the daughter could inherit the property of her deceased father, regardless of whether the father was alive at the time. Later, women were also accepted as accomplices. You can request a share of your father's assets.The SC discovered that the daughter could inherit the property of her deceased father, regardless of whether the father was alive at the time.

And yes you have the rights on that self acquired property as your mother is no more and the as the next representaion of hers you are the authorized person to have rights in that property.
