A.Hi,
According to Indian law, a daughter has a right to equal share in the property of her father, even if she is his step-daughter. According to the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005, daughters have the same right as sons to their father's self-acquired property, if he dies intestate, that is, without a will. The property will be divided equally among all legal heirs.

A.Hi,
Yes, a daughter has a right to equal share in the property of her father, even if she is his step-daughter. This is assuming that the property in which she seeks to establish claim was the self acquired property of the father.
