u/CaseBig7557

My dad (Grade 3 technician, Eastern Railway) passed in 2018. No nominees registered. We're legal heirs me (19M), brother, sister, and 2 step-sisters from dad's 1st marriage.

The issue:

• 1st wife's death certificate missing (old records) took 8 years to get DRM signed notice as alternative
• Step-sisters holding NOC hostage deal is they get ALL railway money (compensation + pension arrears) and give it back after railway transfers to each individual
• Brother got compassionate appointment (job), sister gets pension they signed a court agreement to send their shares to step-sisters
• I never signed anything
• Case still officially pending, new officer reviewing

Estimated amounts:

• ~₹40L compensation
• ~₹19L pension arrears (8yr × ₹20k/m)
• Ongoing monthly pension

Questions:

1. Can step-sisters legally enforce the NOC deal on me since I never signed?
2. Can we get succession certificate that forces railway to pay each heir directly bypassing this deal?
3. Is the court agreement my siblings signed enforceable?
4. Any free legal resources for this? any advice?
