To which religion you or more appropriately your grandfather's sister belonged?
If your grandfather's sister predeceased her husband?
If the property is ancestral or self acquired property of her?
If she died interstate or testamentary succession will follow?

Secondly, land laws have some amendments basis the local or state amendments so those too have to be kept in mind.
Thirdly ask your lawyer to have a look from the recent updates on "land to belong to the one who is possessing it for long" laws too. That might help you in this case.

Limitation can be set up as a defense, but a judicial discretion is granted on the Court and they have the power to condone the delay, if the court is satisfied by the explanation for delay in filing the suit. This power is purely discretionary. Section 3 is definitely applicable, but if the other party is successful in explaining the cause of delay, the court has the power to condone the delay and decide the case based on the merits.
