We are 5 brother have ancestral agricultural land in U.P , Out of 5 brother 3 brother were elder to me and 1 is younger to me ,In 3 elder brothers ,2 where unmarried and one of my elder who was married died in1995 and had one son after him.
My query is that my 1st elder unmarried brother died few months back and now as per uttar pradesh zamindari abolition act who will have the succession rights over his agricultural land. Is there any provision that my 2nd elder brother who was married has a son will have succession rights over his agricultural land

Succession rights are not governed under Zamindari Oonmulan Kanoon rather Hindu Succession Act is the application in your query.
As the elder brother of you died intestate so his succession shall go equally to his brothers means to all 4 others. The share inherited to one of your deceased brother shall go in favour of his successors including your niece.
