Until and unless an undivided property is partitioned through a decree of partition passed by a Civil Court, a coparcener or legal heir cannot get his/her share in the said property. So, in the given situation, you being a legal heir need to file a partition suit before the Civil Court to obtain your share in the said property. Once a decree in a partition suit is passed, it will vitiate or cancel the sale deed of the land that was sold before partition without your consent. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
You may file a Partition Suit and for cancellation of sale since it was done without your consent as it is joint property unless legally divided.
