Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

-- I have one(1) Nephew and two (2), Nieces living in Haryana

-- Their Mother passed away in 1995

-- Father passed away in 2006

--I urged my Brother-in-law many a time to make a will as well I gave my Brother-in-law a copy of the will and yet he did not make it.

--Now my Nephew claims that he is the sole owner of his Father's property

--Although the Hindu Act of 1956, and including subsequent acts clearly state that each sibling is entitled to equal share of the property, i.e one- third each.

--Now the Brother of the two (2) sisters does not want to give the two (2) sisters one-third share each.,

-- I told my Nephew many times, as well as the two (2) sistes had told my Nephew to divide or pay them each one-third, he is refusing to do so.

--The two (2) sisters have filed the case in the Haryana court.

--Since the 1956 Hindu Act and subsequent acts are very clear, therefore, how soon can the case be settled by the Court in Haryana?
