Can father sell ancestral property without the consent of daughter?

My father is selling a property without the consent of his daughters. The property is in his name, but it was purchased by selling ancestral property. We have lived in that house for more than 20 years. Is he legally allowed to sell it without our consent?

If the house was purchased using money from ancestral property, daughters have a legal share in it. The father cannot sell the property without their consent. You can file a civil case for partition and injunction to stop the sale. Long-term residence strengthens your claim. The court can restrain him from selling until rights are decided.
