Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in India

Me and 2 borthers(elder+ yonger),2 sisters made an agreement to sell our ancestral propery shareto younger brother 3 years back. All of them agreed on the specific price.This agreement is written on plain paper and also not registered. Till now younger brother not settled the amount and we never transfered our share. In sceret elder brother / a sister surrendered their share to him. Not sure they all paid or not?

Now younger brother send a court notice to remaining peopel to surrender the shares as per agreement done 3 years back.

Question: 1)Does this agreement on the paper can be consdered in court (legal binding?)

2)Now I am not inetersted to sell my share to him as I cant trust him.

How I termiate this agreement even of court consider this paper.

3) But how court admitted this case based on the plain paper ? Asked me to response.Looks strange for me

This plain paper has no meaning in court of law. Secondly, had they surrendered their share through any legal document? If no, their surrender has no meaning either.
