If yor paternal uncles are claiming for a bigger share in the property then it will become their duty to produce substantial evidence to convince court for establishing their claim.

Your father can challenge the same properly on merits and evidences in his side.

He need not budge to the pressure tactics even sentimental attacks, of his brothers.

1. If the shop is sold to your father alone then his brothers have no share in it.

2.it is not clear whether the show owner sold the flat shop to your father through a sale deed or it was made verbally.

3.if there is no sale deed then his brothers may claim this to be a joint property and claim equal share. it would be a difficult job then for your father to prove his sole share.

4. if the shop owner is still alive then ask your father to get a proper deed done by him to remove all disputes.

If the sale deed with regard to shop is in your father's name then nobody has right over the shop. If so your father is the absolute owner of the shop.No claim will sustain to your fathers brothers.

You are right that just because they are your father's brothers they cannot claim an equal or any share in the shop or property.

If they still insist, ask them to approach court for remedy.

Legally no claim shall be maintainable.

2) your father refuse to bow down to demands for equal share made by his brothers

3) shop is owned by your father , sale consideration for purchase of shop paid by your father only brother cannot claim equal share in profits from business and share in the property

Your father has sole ownership of the house./shop he developed.

You may go for injunction order if your uncles are trying to encroachment.
