1. Please note that the dispute is with regard to transmission of shares which the legal heirs of the shareholder has legal right to step into the shoes of their predecessor in interest.

2.However the legal heirs do not have legal right to become Director in the company.

3. If the shares are not transposed/transmitted in their name they can file case under section 111 of Companies Act, 1956 and corresponding to Section 58 of Companies Act, 2013 in NCLT.

1) court would direct brother to file probate of father will if you dispute the genuineness of the will . oppose grant of probate it would be convetted into testamentary suit

2) if you feel will is forged file police complaint of foregery against brother . enclose hand writing expert opinion

3) NCLT would direct you to take appropriate legal proceedings .

4) file partition suit to claim share in property . both suits would be clubbed together

Whenever there is a dispute then the reliability of the so called unregistered will shall be under cloud and suspicion. You can very well object the production of Will before the court stating that this is a fake document and it can be relied only when it is probated by the court competent, after that the burden of probating or proving the will shall be on the person who relies on it.

If your objection to accept the Will is strong enough and even then the NCLT is admitting the same as evidence, you may prefer an appeal on that decision and obtain stay of the proceedings in that aspect from the appellate authority or from a civil court.
