did your father leave behind a will ? or did he die intestate?

if your father has made your brother a nominee then shares would be transferred in his name in the nominee demat account on furnishing death certificate / indemnity bond .

if value of shares are more than 1 lakh generally succession certicate / letters of administartion /or probate is insisted upon

A reading of Section 109(A) of the Companies Act and 9.11 of the Depositories Act makes it abundantly clear that the intent of the nomination is to vest the property in the shares which includes the ownership rights thereunder in the nominee upon nomination validly made as per the procedure prescribed, as has been done in this case.”

since your father has made your brother a nominee in view of section 109 a of companies act he is the legal heir to the shares

The Views of Mr. Sethi are absolutely correct.

In your case, unfortunately there can not be a view other than those expressed by Mr. Sethi.

Only your brother is entitled to retain those shares under section 109 of Companies Act and you cannot be included as co-owner/co-sharer therein
