Whether father can enter into agreement of sale in respect of ancestral property?

Moreover, what holds good in respect of the family settlement, holds good even moreso with regard to an agreement of sale, i.e. that an agreement of sale also could not have been entered into by Rohtash if the property was ancestral property in his hands, his son and the other two children having acquired a right in such property by birth.Of course, if due consideration was received by Rohtash, in lieu of such property, then such consideration may have been deemed to be ancestral property, provided the ancestral land was sold for the benefit of his family.
