My father worked in a ready-made kids' garment shop, which was purchased by his three brothers, and they added my father as a proprietor in the firm. My father honestly worked there for 27 years, and finally, the three brothers decided to give away the shop. They denied my father any partnership or settlement amount. They never looked after the shop but always took the profits.
Request for Legal Advice
Could someone provide legal advice on the laws related to this scenario? What should we do as the three brothers deny the partnership claim since my father's name wasn't on the purchase document?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Further to the queries Tushar Swar mentioned, please confirm the type of remuneration your father was being paid for the 27 years—was it a flat salary or any share in the monthly/annual profits? Also, you mentioned "added my father as a proprietor in the firm"—was it done informally, or was there any documented agreement?
Additionally, who was responsible for handling the statutory obligations like Sales Tax, etc., on paper?
Please provide as many details as possible. This will enable the members to offer more accurate and practical suggestions.
